“Orientation to Ginza”
We are not the easiest travellers for a guide to manage. We want to know a lot of detail - everything from the form of government, to the kind of rock in the city walls, and where we can get a good bottle of wine. Shunta did his best to answer all. He was personable, with a good sense of humour and sincerely interested in finding out about us and meeting our interests.
