Walking Tour with Yogi - Yogi our guide gave us a really informative and interesting day walking around Hida-Furukawa. A beautiful city of traditional houses and canals, with wonderful temples. We thoroughly enjoyed the Festival Museum with the floats and Rousing Drums. The sake tasting and weaving made for a really fun day. All in all a great day. Thank you.

Great tour! A must do in Takayama. - We had a really great tour with Yogi! If you are coming to Takayama, this is the tour you definitely want to do. We have done many day tours in many countries over the last few years and this is one of our favorites. We learned so much from Yogi and enjoyed spending the day with him. The town is so interesting and learning about the annual festival was just wonderful. Yogi even helped us find a restaurant for dinner and made a reservation for us. It was an incredible meal. All in all 5 stars plus. Highly recommend this tour.
