A glimpse into old Japan
Dec 2020
This was a great little tour that had a very fun hands-on experience in the middle of it. Make sure you wear blue clothes or something else that you wouldn't mind getting dyed blue from splashes of indigo dye. The dyeing part was really cool and it was great to be able to take home a souvenir. Also, the park with all the old Japanese buildings was fascinating and a perfect spot for some really cool photos. We went at the very beginning of December, and there were still a lot of gorgeous fall colors in the trees.
I would recommend this tour to people who are into traditional Japan or traditional Japanese architecture.
