This half-day English guided tour is for up to three guests. It offers a rare chance to experience the authentic charm of rural Japan — something you won't find in big cities.

You'll wear a traditional yukata and explore a 130-year-old Japan house and garden, taking memorable photos along the way. At Nakatsu Castle, famous for its flowers, you'll enjoy another photo opportunity.

The tour includes a visit to a traditional wagasa (Japan umbrella) workshop, a tasting of matcha and wagashi at a long-established sweets shop, and a hands-on wagashi-making session with a skilled artisan.

You'll also enjoy a soba lunch and visit to a century-old tea shop to taste premium gyokuro and a beautiful matcha parfait.

This unique experience invites you to discover the beauty, flavor, and craftmanship of Japan's cultural heritage in just six and a half hours.
