If you would like to experience these kinds of things Japanese, I can arrange for you. I'm good on Japanese history, too. I'd like to show you around Tokyo and other places with their historical backgrouds, if you like.

“Wonderful Tour of Tokyo with Fumiko”
I had the pleasure of spending last Saturday on a guided tour of Tokyo with Fumiko, and it was truly an excellent experience. Our visit to the Imperial Palace East Gardens was a highlight, not only for the beauty of the place but also for the wealth of interesting information Fumiko shared throughout the day. Her deep knowledge, clear explanations, and constant availability made the entire tour both enjoyable and enriching. I felt very well taken care of at all times. Thank you, Fumiko, for your kindness and for making my day in Tokyo so memorable.

“Pleasure to see Tokyo with her as a guide”
Fumiko is a great guide. She was well-prepared with background information on the places we visited, she had a whole folder with visuals and timelines to provide a context fot the shrines and temples. She was kind enough to change my return location ( from my hotel to a tea ceremony in Asakusa) and accompany me all the way to ensure that I find the location for the tea ceremony. She patiently explained the subway system so that I won't feel anxious about finding my way back to the hotel by myself. Overall a, knowleageable and very pleasant person. She was very patient despite guiding on an incredibly hot and humid day. She even even thought of bringing an extra fan for me to use.
