Awesome with Chie - Our experience was outstanding all thanks to our guide, Chie. She will make all the difference in the tour experience. We were a family of 5 with 3 college/ teen children. We learned so much about local culture and food. Her positive energy was infectious and kept us alive in 91 degree weather. We made cool stops to try pickled vegetables, candies, sake, plum wine, tofu donuts at the market. We had a nice sit down lunch where she painted each of our names in Chinese characters explaining their meaning. We visited a shrine, cool shops, and the time flew by. I would recommend doing this tour when you first arrive so that you get a good idea of where to go to eat, shop, etc… Chie was also great at taking family photos! Thanks Chie!
