Hi Tierra, thank you for your kind review. I was very happy to spend part of your final full day in Japan shopping together and to see that you were able to find almost everything you had been looking for! I hope our time together helped you understand Tokyo a little better and, most of all, made you like the city more!

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!
