The shogun trail tour was very good. Loved Kyoto and Japan generally, I would like to return to see and do more.
Our guide Karique was excellent, you couldn't hope for a more genial and knowledgeable tour leader.
I do believe that using public transport brings you closer to experiencing the day to day life of local people.
