“Kahoko is a wonderful guide”
We spent two days with Kahoko exploring Tokyo. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Japan's history and the city she is sharing. She's also a foodie who took us to two great restaurants for lunch each day. If we come back to Tokyo, we would not only want to have Kahoko show us around some more, but we would want to hang out with her and have a nice meal.

Thank you very much for another review! You are too sweet. I enjoyed every moment with all of you. Only one thing I regret is I was not able to understand some of your joke. Probably, I need to learn more. Please give me another chance. You should come back to Tokyo. Anyway, your long journey keeps going. I hope you a safe and joyful trip. Take care !

Thank you very much for the kind review! I'm missing all of you ! I had such a lovely time with charming people. I just felt pleasant and fun listening conversations between long-run friends. Your relationship is wonderful! I wish I could have joined another meals with you. If you have another chance to come to Tokyo, Let's go for dinner together so that I can drink beer. Thank you very much for everything!
