Eric was absolutely wonderful and gave us great insight into Shinto and Buddhist religions. He took us off the beaten path to wonderful shrines, temples and gardens, shared a ton of valuable knowledge and was unhurried throughout. Eric is very passionate about Japanese history and culture - a wonderful guide that we highly recommend!

Eric was a brilliant guide while we explored multiple shrines and temples in Kyoto. He taught our family so much about the spiritual history of the region and showed us how to actively participate in various traditions. Our teens really loved this. He was super engaging so the information was easy to absorb. He had excellent recommendations for our itinerary so we got to discover much more quiet less tourist overloaded sites. We got to experience the true tranquility that these special places provide. Thank you for the excellent adventure Eric!

Outstanding tour with John, with his deep understanding of the culture and history of spirituality in Kyoto. We saw several important shrines and temple. We covered a lot of ground but never was there a dull moment. His presentation was flawless and truly inspiring! We shall return..
