Most flexible and helpful

It was a very hot day. Instead of the walking tour that we had agreed to, Makoto suggested getting from place to place in his car. We are usually walkers, but very much appreciated his intervention. We highly recommend his dedication, knowledge, and helpful spirit.

Makoto Y.

Dear John, Thanks for your nice comments. It was hot but I enjoyed guiding you today. It is not common for the visitor to stay Nara, and therefore you are very important visitor. Please enjoy Nara for the next two days. It will be a little cooler tomorrow for you. Makoto Yokoyama
