Dear Chase Thank you for sending me such a high-rated review as promised! And above all, I was so surprised by all the wonderful gifts! Every time I go to Yamamoto Café from now on, I’ll remember your mother’s name and your hometown. Thank you for the lovely memories, and please give my best regards to your mother. I hope your experience in Kyoto today will be just as wonderful Mana

Dear Michelle, Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I really enjoyed the tour with you and your family, who are the same age as I am. Please come back to Kyoto someday with your lovely grandchild who looks so much like you — I’ll be looking forward to seeing you again. Mana

Dear Michal Thank you very much for sending me the highest rating review. I’m truly delighted that you enjoyed and appreciated my hometown, which is famous for green tea. I must admit I felt a little nervous in that tearoom, as it’s a place where it’s quite rare to get a reservation—and afterward, I almost made a big mistake! The words written on the hanging scroll in the tearoom meant, “Autumn is approaching, and the weather is getting colder. Please take good care of yourself.” I wish you a wonderful rest of your days in Japan! Mana
