Overview

Small group, Real stories, no tourist script. I live here — not just in Kyoto, but in Arashiyama. Before the bamboo fills with cameras, this place moves differently. Slower. Softer. More honest. This is not a checklist tour. It’s a walk through history, poetry, and quiet corners most visitors pass without noticing. This is a small group experience.

No umbrellas.

No microphones.

No rushing. At the end, you decide what the experience was worth to you.
