What a beautiful place! I was so glad to have such a chance to visit a place that only locals could find. Suzie was a lovely and warm hearted host, and we had a great time. If you want to avoid the crowded tourist and dive into the beautiful nature, this is a great choice for you.

We had a great tour with Suzie on this day trip. It felt very refreshing to hike along the river and the hike is almost 90% covered by trees so helps protect from strong sun and heat. Walking across the river was also very refreshing. We went on a weekday and only saw 4 other people on the trail. Great feeling to escape the crowds.
Seize is very knowledgeable about nature and Japan culture and is happy to share and answer any questions. She explained everything well and provided good recommendations on what to do. The onsen she recommended there in Arashiyama was great and we did that after our walk through the Bamboo Forest. We even saw a Japanese cormorant fishing traditional festival demonstration in the evening.

We highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to enjoy a day of nature, less crowds and experience a great day.

Tips:
1. Wear sturdy shoes, no sandals or platform shoes and take small backpack, snacks
2. Make it a full day and do Bamboo Forrest in evening and onsen

Very kind and lovely lady ❤️
She is very wise, not just the cute cat experience but all regarding to Japan spiritual culture knowledge and the introduction to local cuisine.
I very grateful for the experience.

Setsuko很友善，雖然天氣很熱，但她還是很耐心陪我逛跳蚤市場，並分享她很多經驗，當天比較可惜的是真的太熱了，而且人也很多，無法好好找到餐廳吃飯，但是能夠盡興逛跳蚤市場，我覺得很棒了。
