Title: What's a Private One-Day Kyoto Tour of Zen Gardens Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were on a ten-day trip in Japan. They requested a Kyoto guide for just today. The guests enjoyed gardening as a hobby and had a strong interest in Japanese gardens. For this reason, we visited two rock gardens and Ginkaku-ji Temple, which I believe they enjoyed, though one point of reflection is that the layout of the sites required quite a lot of walking. I took breaks along the way and regularly checked whether they were tired, but many of the locations unavoidably involved walking, which may have been demanding for the guests.
