I'm very interested in kimono, tea ceremony and Japanese castles. I sometimes guide in kimono. There are so many nice places to visit in Gifu and Nagoya!

“Great Tour To and Through Gujohachiman”
The tour itself was a nice mix of relaxation, walking, and a small hike to Gujohachiman castle. The silk screen printing was also a very fun and simple experience. But of course all good tours are because the guide themselves are great people. Yuriko-san was a very fun and informative guide. She’s also incredibly kind and great at involving you in conversations with locals as a translator rather than just talking by herself. I also had a lot of fun learning about her life and family and sharing my stories as well. If you’re in or near Gifu prefecture, I highly recommend Yuriko-san as a guide!

Thank you so much for posting an excellent review and wonderful comments, Jeff-san! Your comments encourage me a lot. I also had a wonderful time to talk with you while getting on a local train or walking around Gujo-Hachiman nostalgic street. Especially, it was fun for me to hear you and a staff at silk screen shop joyful conversation. Thank you for coming to Gujo-Hachiman, Gifu. I would like you to come to Gujo-Hachiman in summer. Let's enjoy bon-dancing in yukata, or cotton summer kimono together!!
