“Matsumoto castle ”
We started our first visit to Japan with Mr Shinya E. on his Tokyo tour, and ended our visit to Japan with him on his Matsumoto tour. We had an awesome visit! A Truly amazing guide, exceptional knowledge of his country and it's history, and a super nice guy, that was fun to hang out with. I feel like we gained more then just an appreciation for the culture and history of Japan, but actually gained a friend as well. If you get to Tokyo for a visit, I highly recommend you make contact with Mr. Shinya E. You'll have a fabulous experience. Thank you Shinya E. We look forward to seeing you again on our next visit. Best Regards Judy and Craig F.
