We was 3 days in Tokyo with Shin. He is a very good guide. Organisation was perfect and amazing.
Hello Thomas. Thank you so much for your nice review. Ich freue mich, dass ich das schöne Japan in der Jahreszeit der schönen Kirschblüten vorstellen konnte. Vielen Dank! Shin.
Thanks again Shin-san for all your help on our trip from Kyoto to Tokyo, and for the suggestions for visits around the Imperial Palace, all the best Hedi and Bruce.
Shin knows the Kyoto and Nara region very well and we spent a very enjoyable day travelling from Kyoto by train to Nara and then meandering our way through this historic city, visiting the deer parks, main temple and a beautiful shrine in the foothills. We wandered through the shopping and market area and visited a fascinating toy museum. We enjoyed every trip with Shin as our guide! Thank you, Hedi and Bruce.
I am so glad to be able to guide you in Kyoto and Nara, blessed with good weather. And I am very happy that you liked the Japan you saw for the first time. Temples and shrines, Japanese gardens, Japanese food, Japanese sweets, and Japanese people. I will never forget this wonderful memory I had with you. Furthermore, we were able to see Mt.Fuji capped with silver snow on a clear day from the Shinkansen. It is said that the probability of seeing Mt.Fuji is just 30%. We were very lucky travelers. I wish you happiness and good health from Japan. Thank you very much. Hedi-san and Bruce-san. Shin.
Thank you again Shin san for a very enjoyable day in Kyoto. We crisscrossed the city and enjoyed visiting the historic world heritage sites as well as the markets and commercial centre. And your selection for lunch was excellent. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time with you and are very much looking forward to our next visit with you. All the best, Hedi and Bruce.
Hedi-san and Bruce-san. I am very happy to show you the beautiful sights of Kyoto. At the same time, I'm glad that you were satisfied with my choices of restaurant and local markets. Kyoto still has many charms. I hope to see you again next time. Thank you very much for your wonderful comment ! Shin.Y
