Bicis, Nara y ciervos
It's beautiful & fresh cycling along the river, which no tourists visit, and we go through local Japanese neighborhood districts, which are beautiful, cozy, and quiet.
Especially hidden gems in Nara, cycling along the Saho river, which only local people visit :)
With fewer tourists, no cars, and no stress, you'll get a relaxed feeling from a busy Osaka/Kyoto stay.
And in Nara park, beside the crowded and busy Todaiji-big Buddha (600yen entrance fee), few people go up to Nigatsudo hall on the hill. This is because the view from the Nigatsu-do hall is just breathtakingly beautiful. But you've got to ride your bicycle up there. So it's a little bit of exercise.
We can feed the deer in Nara park while we go cycling around. I'll get the deer crackers for you :)
And I'll take some lovely group photos of you while cycling. I'm an excellent selfie photographer!
From Nigatsudo hall to the station, it's all the way downhill. But it's an easy way back!
We'll get our raincoats and walk around the park if it rains hard. (We ride buses between the station and the park.)
There is a sake brewery in town, and we can try Sake tasting if you want. (500yen Extra charge)
Other things to note
Please make sure that you can ride bicycles very well.
Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes for cycling.
Please bring your cap or hat to prevent health problems caused by heat strokes.

Sashiko: el arte del bordado japonés
In my workshop, you will make one SASHIKO coaster of your own.
You can choose your favorite pattern from various samplers, and I’ll teach how to stitch from scratch. You can also choose the color of thread and fabric to make your original one. All the tools and materials (threads, fabric and the needle) will be provided. You don't have to bring anything but your creativity!
There are mainly two methods in sashiko; Moyou-zashi and Hitome-zashi. My workshop is specialized in Hitome-zashi technique. It uses grid lines as a guide to stitch. After stitching horizontal lines all the way, we add the vertical lines or diagonal lines(depends on the pattern). You will be just amazed how the beautiful pattern emerges as you stitch.
Both the beginners and the experienced embroiderers are welcomed since you can choose the pattern to make. Please come and join me to experience Japanese beautiful folk embroidery.
Excursión de senderismo oculto por Fushimi Inari
Don’t get caught standing in a crowd of tourists trying to get a good photo.
We provide a personal hiking experience. This is the ONLY tour at Fushimi Inari which goes off paved paths, onto actual forest trails. We know of hidden bamboo groves and beautiful evergreens around Fushimi Inari Shrine. Local trails lead us to the main shrine with thousands of red torii gates, and we know of secluded trails that lead to old and hidden alters.
We will begin at Tofukuji Station and wander into a quiet neighborhood, visiting small shrines on the way to the mountain. Then take a trail to see a wonderful bamboo grove, and connect to the main path filled with the famous vermilion torii gates.
We will reach the summit of the mountain, which is covered in the shrine alters and then venture back down the mountain on a forested trail, visiting smaller shrines on the way to another bamboo grove. This will lead us to the most famous area of Fushimi Inari, perfect for a memorable photo.
We will finish at the main shrine at the base of the mountain, where you can enjoy some local street food before you continue your adventure in the wonderful city of Kyoto.
Please understand that this is a hike, not a normal walk, so it will require some effort. We will not recommend joining if you have trouble walking or not in a good condition.
