What you'll do
※ Please book in groups of 2 or more to ensure that the host gets fairly compensated.
※ Immersive and relaxing. Great for families, private groups, and team-building events. A shorter format is available upon request. Please inquire if your desired time is not shown.
※ 5-star ratings from guests representing Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, Airbnb, IBM, Starbucks, Amazon, and others.
We begin our magical adventure strolling under the cherry blossoms, a quick visit to a Zen monastery and then a walk through the famed Saga Bamboo Forest.
Then you will receive insider access to a mountain temple that is far off the radar of most visitors to Kyoto. Through my close relationship with the head monk I will share with you the fascinating story of this temple that has never been told in such depth in English before.

Founded over 1,000 years ago and abandoned during WWII, what has become of this temple since the war is absolutely amazing. I will share high-quality HD videos that I have produced which include vintage clips from 40 years ago when this temple was being restored.
As we end this experience I will pass on a wonderful offer from the head monk for when you visit Kyoto in the future. While traveling through space and time, this is your chance to experience true peace and tranquility.

Hello. I am a landscape designer living in Kyoto for the last decade. Over the last 3.5 years I have been leading walks of many of the amazing gardens here through my small business called An Design, which has become one of the highest rated tour companies in Kyoto.
Drawing on my 16 years of garden experience in the U.S. and Japan and my self-studies in Eastern philosophy since my early teens, I am able to provide experiences for my guests that are unique and from the heart.
As the only foreigner to graduate from the Kyoto Japanese Garden Training Program, I have gained insights to Japanese culture and gardens that are very rare for an outsider to obtain.
Come with me on an adventure away from the regular tourist route and immerse yourself in the exquisite and mystical nature of Kyoto.
