(3 reviews)Hi Nikhil. Thank you for your review. It was wonderful time for me, too. Hope you will have more pleasant time during your stay.
“Eiichi was a pleasure.”
Eiichi was very friendly and came well prepared for everything I had communicated to him that I wanted to see and do. His English is excellent and I never felt embarrassed to ask him to repeat or to repeat my questions. I HIGHLY recommend Eiichi to anyone, especially those English speakers, that want a private guide and are interested in Japanese culture.
