Thank you very much for your warm review of my tour. I was so happy to have a tour with a happy family. I think "Tsukiji & Ueno" tour is a good way to understand Japanese culture. You could experience it through Japanese food and traditional buildings and atmosphere. I hope you will come back to Japan in the near future and see you again in Tokyo. Arigato-Gozaimashita!! Keiko
