This is the ONLY tour at Fushimi Inari which goes off paved paths, onto actual forest trails. We know of hidden bamboo groves and beautiful evergreens around Fushimi Inari Shrine. Local trails lead us to the main shrine with thousands of red torii gates, and we know of secluded trails that lead to old and hidden alters. We will begin at Tofukuji Station and wander into a quiet neighborhood, visiting small shrines on the way to the mountain. Then take a trail to see a wonderful bamboo grove, and connect to the main path filled with the famous vermilion torii gates. We will reach the summit of the mountain, which is covered in the ​shrine alters and then venture back down the mountain on a forested trail, visiting smaller shrines on the way to another bamboo grove. This will lead us to the most famous area of Fushimi Inari, perfect for a memorable photo. We will finish at the main shrine at the base of the mountain, where you can enjoy some local street food before you continue your adventure in the wonderful city of Kyoto. Please understand that this is a hike, not a normal walk, so it will require some effort. We will not recommend joining if you have trouble walking or not in a good condition.

First I explain a little about what is special about “Akahada-yaki”. Then I hand over the raw clay to guests for appreciation and touching.Imagine this clay will be given life and become a work in your daily life! Have in your mind a image of your own design. Eg. If you participate with your partner, making same teacups for each other might be a memorable experience! I will also advise for your design from easiness of making or solidity in use. When design is finished, then we start building and shaping by wheel throwing. (See my demonstration!) It’s really a fun to turn a wheel!

Let's hike a beautiful unknown way to Fushimi Inari shrine, inside a big mountain chatting about Japanese philosophy Shintoism and a well-known religion Zen Buddhism. I'm happy to answer any quesions about Japan as a local who knows positive sides & negative sides since I was born here. There are so many paths including a dangerous way to higher sites. Nowadays the main roads are extremely crowded and have no peace, although it is a spiritual place. I will show you a secret path with bamboos at the backside of the shrine. In other places, bamboo streets are a famous Japanese symbol that are full of tourists. But here I can show you that it is not like that. Fushimi Inari shrine had been a silent and calm place for many years until it became as famous as it is today. But there is still some territory that has not yet been discovered by tourists because it is not easy to find it by them and once you got lost there, it would be hard to come back. We'll take such a silent path. If you have a request for your most convenient time or date, feel free to ask me to adjust my schedule. I'll flexibly fit to your schedule. Any requests on short notice are welcome too. Other things to note 1. I recommend you have a drink before starting and wear comfortable walking shoes. 2. There are steps on the way up & down. 3. Relieve yourself beforehand since there aren't bathrooms till come back

・食の街大阪で人気の鉄板焼レストランでお刺身の盛り合わせ、和牛ステーキのいくつかの部位の食べ比べと日本酒の飲み比べをして頂きます。 ・季節のお刺身の食べ比べ、とそれらに合う日本酒、和牛ステーキの部位食べ比べとそれらに合う日本酒を分かりやすい解説付きで楽しんで頂きます。 ・焼き野菜、白ごはん、漬物盛りがセットでついてます。 食の街、大阪でも高級店、有名店が立ち並ぶ北新地の鉄板焼屋さんを楽しんでください。 私は10年以上和牛を扱うレストラン、ホテルで仕事してきました。 2017年に独立してからもコース料理の中に数種の和牛の部位を使用し美味しい和牛ステーキを振る舞ってきました。このツアーでも最高の焼き加減で和牛ステーキを楽しんで頂きます。もちろん部位ごとの特徴も丁寧に説明致します。 日本の魚にも詳しく、毎日市場に仕入れに行って買ってくる、季節ごとの旬のお魚を数種類刺身で召し上がって頂きます。 また、2021年には日本酒のテイスティング資格を取得しました。日本酒にはたくさんの種類があり、基本的にはどんな料理にも合わせやすいのですが、このツアーではその中でも和牛の旨味のしっかりした赤身に合う日本酒、和牛のとろけるような甘い脂に合う日本酒、お刺身も淡白な白身魚に合う日本酒、旨味や脂ののった青魚にあう日本酒をセレクトします。 それぞれの美味しさはもちろん料理とのマリアージュの奥深さも堪能して頂けることでしょう。

It's beautiful and fresh cycling along the river, which no tourists visit. We also go through local Japanese neighborhood districts, which are beautiful, cozy, and quiet. Especially hidden gems in Nara, cycling along the Saho river, which only local people visit :) With fewer tourists, no cars, and no stress, you'll feel relaxed from a busy Osaka/Kyoto stay. In Nara Park, beside the crowded and busy Todaiji-big Buddha (600 yen entrance fee), a few people visit Nigatsudo Hall on the hill. This is because the view from the Nigatsu-do hall is breathtakingly beautiful. But you've got to ride your bicycle up there, so it's a little bit of exercise. While we cycle around Nara Park, we will see many deer. There are 1,200 deer in the park. And I'll take some lovely group photos of you while cycling. I'm an excellent selfie photographer! It's downhill from Nigatsudo Hall to the station, but it's easy to return! If it rains hard, we'll get our raincoats and walk around the park. (We ride buses between the station and the park.) There is a sake brewery in town, and we can try Sake tasting if you want. (500yen Extra charge) Other things to note Please make sure that you can ride bicycles very well. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes for cycling. Please bring your cap or hat to prevent health problems caused by heat strokes.
