Hi Mike, Thank you so much for leaving another incredible review for our Kanazawa tour! Even though it was such a hot day, I honestly didn't feel the heat at all because I was having such a great time conversing with you, Sue, and Margo! Learning so much about Canada from you made the walks through the city deeply engaging and enjoyable for me as well. I’m thrilled to hear that the Ninja Temple, the Samurai district, and the lunch spot left such a great impression on your family. Kanazawa is a fantastic city, but next time, I would love to take you to even older, hidden historic towns in this region—and of course, that sushi feast in Toyama! Thank you again for your wonderful warmth and support throughout both tours. Wishing you all a safe journey home to Canada! Warmest regards, Naoto

Dear Mike, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartwarming and glowing review! I am truly delighted to hear that you, Sue, and Margo enjoyed our tour to Shirakawa-go and the Sho River Cruise, and that the Hida beef lunch made such a great impression on your trip to Japan. Managing through that heavy rain on the highway was certainly an adventure, but seeing your family’s bright smiles when the rain cleared up in Shirakawa-go was the absolute highlight of my day! It was a true privilege to guide your family for two full days and to share so many wonderful conversations together. I am already looking forward to your next visit to Japan—and next time, we must definitely go for an unforgettable sushi experience in Toyama! Thank you again for your incredible kindness and support. Wishing you, Sue, and Margo all the very best! Warmest regards, Naoto

Dear Scott and Jose, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a generous and thoughtful review! I am truly honored by your kind words. It was an absolute privilege to guide you through Kanazawa. As fellow educators, I deeply enjoyed our inspiring conversations and your intellectual curiosity about the strategic history and cultural nuances of our region. I am thrilled to hear that the tour helped deepen your appreciation for the city, from the samurai quarters to the hidden stories behind the gardens and temples. You were wonderful guests, and managing the day with you was smooth and completely stress-free for me as well. I hope your subsequent travels in Kansai were just as enriching! Should your travels bring you back to Japan in the future—perhaps to explore the pristine landscapes and deep-rooted cultures of Shirakawa-go or Toyama—I would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back. Thank you again, and I wish you all the very best in your university teachings and future adventures! Warmest regards, Naoto
