Dear Clark, Thank you so much for your truly heartwarming review! I hope you are enjoying your cruise journey. When I first welcomed you two, your friendly smiles immediately made me feel at ease, and I could already imagine that we were going to have a wonderful day together. And indeed, it turned out to be such a fun and memorable time for me as well. I hope the photos, including the beautiful cherry blossoms at Goryokaku, will help you remember the special moments we spent together here in Hakodate. I was also very happy when she suggested taking a photo of the three of us together at the end of the tour. It became another precious memory for me! We were blessed with such lovely weather, and after a pleasant day of walking, the cheesecake and apple juice tasted especially wonderful. I sincerely hope the rest of your journey will be just as fulfilling and memorable. And if you ever come back to Japan and Hokkaido someday, nothing would make me happier than if you remembered Hakodate and your time here! Warmest regards, Bobby

Dear Lou, Thank you so much for spending such precious time writing such a thoughtful review for me. I truly appreciate it. Because you wrote so much detail, I know I will always be able to look back on it and vividly remember the wonderful time we spent together, no matter how much time passes! It also helped me greatly that you booked early and asked so many detailed questions beforehand. It made planning the itinerary much easier for me as well. Even though it was Golden Week, arriving a bit earlier than our meeting time helped us avoid the crowds and made the day run very smoothly. I was also genuinely happy that we were able to enjoy the cherry blossoms at their absolute peak with such beautiful weather. It was very special for me too. Regarding food allergies, I still feel Japan has a long way to go in accommodating them properly, so I was truly relieved and happy to hear that you were satisfied with the meals and tea experiences . I also love taking photos, and more than anything, it makes me happy when guests can look back on their trip and remember the time we shared together. So your words truly mean a lot to me. The itinerary we created together through all our messages and planning became such a wonderful experience, and I sincerely thank you for that as well. Please do visit again when you come back to Japan. Next time, I would love to take you a little farther and introduce you to some even more local places. I am already looking forward to the day we meet again! Your friend, Bobby

From the very beginning, I hoped that your first trip to Japan would be something you could enjoy without worries, so knowing I could help make that happen means so much to me. It was also very special and an honor for me that you decided to visit Hakodate, even though it was not originally part of your travel plan. Seeing both of you fully enjoying the train journey, the unknown restaurants, and every new experience made me genuinely happy throughout the tour. And of course, being able to show you Hakodate at such a beautiful cherry blossom season was unforgettable for me as well. If you ever come back to Hokkaido, I would love to introduce you to even deeper and more local charms of this region. Thank you again for such a wonderful time and memory. Warmest regards, Bobby
