ボビー、ルパート、タマル Thank you very much for such a thoughtful review. Although the rain meant we had to skip Meiji Shrine, I’m glad we could still explore quieter areas such as Yanesen and Kagurazaka, where I could show you local shrines and temples, as well as a more everyday side of Tokyo. Also, it was lovely to see how curious you were about the culture beyond the major sights. I hope you will have a great time walking the old routes without meeting any bears, and that Tamar manages to find the Pokémon cards for her sons.

Hi Bill and Carla, Thank you very much for your kind review. I also really enjoyed our two days together. The relaxed pace made the tours very pleasant, and I’m especially happy that Tokyo became a memorable experience for both of you — with Bill returning to the city and Carla experiencing it for the first time. It is getting colder now, so the autumn colors should be becoming even more beautiful. I hope the rest of your trip is filled with beautiful scenery, delicious food, and many special moments as you celebrate your birthday in Japan. Thank you again, and take care!

Hi Georgia, Thank you for your lovely review. Even though you arrived from Narita that morning, you did a lot of walking, so I could show you both older and more modern neighborhoods in Tokyo, including a few places I thought David might especially enjoy because of his interest in architecture. I’m glad your month in Japan turned out to be such an enjoyable adventure. Thank you again, and all the best to both of you!
