“Bat Cave and forest walk”
We had excellent weather. Since we had never been to the area before, we needed info to understand how to get to our meet up location, and our guide was helpful. Although there were no puddles in the cave, it was very wet. Visitors need to be prepared to go through areas with very low ceilings. The forest history was interesting. We didn't see any wildlife, not even birds. Our guide explained the layout of the area and provided info about how to see more of it.

Thank you for writing the review. You were rush into local bus, so I didn't have enough time to say my appreciation. I chose bet cave this time of year, however, if you have more time or a chance to come the forest in other season, we could visit different caves and walk another trail. I hope you have good time while you are in Yokohama and Hiroshima.

“Emperial Palace, fish market, and Meiji Jingu Shrine”
Chinami was an excellent guide, very talkative and full of information, and flexible in choosing each site. She found a great sushi restaurant at the fish market and led us well through the subway routes to each place. My favorite site was walking the long gravel path to the Meiji-Jingu shrine through a forest of towering trees in the middle of the city. And she brought us home to our hotel at the end of a busy day.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I am glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. All of you were so kind and friendly, too. I feel still sorry that we couldn't make it to go to Aoyama and the bicycle shop. After I got home, I searched the cruise ship you are getting on. You were supported to come to Shimizu port, which I would guide sea excursion as I thought. If you are interested in another famous artist called, Utagawa (Ando) Hiroshige, Shimizu is a place to see his arts. I hope you come to see them near future. Von Voyage
