Hi Tony and Kristen, Thank you so much for your warm review. I also had a great time with you. In addition to the highlights, it was especially fun to explore Kappabashi Kitchen Street with cooking lovers like you and to enjoy miso ramen together! I’m very happy to hear that our day together helped you feel more comfortable getting around Tokyo on your own. I hope the rest of your time in Japan, including Kanazawa, is just as enjoyable and full of good discoveries and delicious food. And when you get back home, please enjoy dashimaki tamago and fish with your new tools!

Hi Andrea and Michael, thank you so much for your thoughtful review. I’m very happy that you enjoyed not only Tokyo’s major highlights, but also the local neighborhood where I used to live. I was also glad that I could introduce you not just to the subway and trains, but even to one of Tokyo’s trams. Although the weather has been a little unsettled lately, I hope you are enjoying your cruise and finding some favorite places, foods, and perhaps some items related to remade kimono along the way. Next time, please come back to Tokyo with your son and daughter-in-law. I would be delighted to see you again!

Hi イーくん、サラちゃん、 Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing the lovely photo. I was very happy to be part of such a special day for you two. I’m sure that from now on, whenever I see Chiikawa, I’ll think of you both! I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Tokyo & Kyoto, including Chiikawa Park and the special cheering screening of the movie. Please keep up the “大人買い(otonagai)” and continue building an even bigger Chiikawa collection back home! And if there is ever a Chiikawa movie season 2 — or simply another reason to visit — I hope you’ll come back to Tokyo again! また来てね！
