Dear Julie-san, Thank you so much for your wonderful message. I’m truly honored to hear that your family enjoyed our two days together, and it makes me very happy that the time we spent in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka became a highlight of your trip. Your kind words mean a great deal to me. It was a pleasure guiding your family, and I’m especially touched to hear that your little boy wanted to spend more time with me—please tell him that made my day. As the holiday season approaches, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year. May the coming year bring you health, happiness, and many wonderful adventures. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in Japan in the future. Warm regards, Nobuko(Nono)
