“ A Day We Will Always Cherish and Never Forget! ”

Our day with Toki san was so special. She made it so easy to get together and took us through the different temples and shrines and gave us more information on the importance of each. We loved getting to know Toki as well and hearing about her expertise. She planned a lovely lunch at small, quaint Japanese style Italian restaurant which was SO DELICIOUS. At the end of the day she hosted a sake and matcha tasting and gave us a thorough but easy to understand background of both sake and matcha. On our 3 week trip to Japan, I have to say that our day trip with Toki in the beautiful town of Kamakura is the biggest highlight of our trip. Arigato Gozaimasu, Toki San, for a day we will never forget! Michelle san

Please let me know when you will come back to Japan:) Toki
