We had an unforgettable experience visiting Taya cave, and it was made even more special thanks to our incredible tour guide, Satoko-san. From the very beginning, she was warm, knowledgeable, and deeply respectful of the spiritual significance of the site. She shared stories and history with such passion that it brought the cave to life in a way we never could have imagined.
In addition to guiding us through the cave, Satoko-san taught us about Buddhism in a way that was both accessible and deeply meaningful. Her explanations added so much depth to the experience, helping us understand not just the place we were visiting, but the spiritual philosophy that surrounds it.
To top it all off, she took us to a traditional Japanese restaurant afterward, where we enjoyed some of the best food of our trip. It was the perfect way to end such a rich and memorable experience.
If you’re considering this tour, we can’t recommend it enough—especially with a guide like Satoko-san.
