“Yuko is an excellent guide ”
Yuko met us at our hotel and guided us to the Japan Rail Station and arranged tickets. We travelled about 40 minutes to a tradtional Japanese town, then Yuko guided us to a 1600s Buddist Temple, still with worshippers attending, Then a pleasant Japanese lunch. Yuko put on a train that returned us near to our hotel. Yuko's English is excellent and we enjoyed an Ausrralian-Japaner cultural exchange Unreservedly recommended. Chris Mills
