“Great day in Kyoto”

We had Hiroshi son for a day in Kyoto. He was punctual and pleasant. Took us around to four different places and provided explanations and background on the sites. A very pleasant day for us. His English is good but it took me a little bit to get used to him.

Dear Keith A I am grateful to you for your great reviews of Kyoto tour. You stepped up to the three-way inter-section in Fushimi-Inari shrine's deep mountainous area and going down to the entrance area and next visit at Sanjyu-sangendo temple which boasts of enshrining as many as 1001 Kannon buddha statues and lastly visit at Imperial Palace garden, where both of you really enjoyed watching over such a beautiful willow cherry blossoms. I felt happy that you had a pleasant day tour in Kyoto. Yours May 28 Hiroshi Y.
