“Amazing tour with a very knowledgeable guide ”
Being our first trip to Japan we really didn't know what to expect, and tried not to go with any preconceived ideas. Atsushi K. was superb. Spoke English very well, and was eager to share his knowledge of Japanese culture. We walked about 8.5 miles, which I was unprepared for, but don't have anything negative to say!
Atsushi K.
Thank you for your message. I believe your cruise was delightful. It is always my pleasure to meet people like you two, as I can learn new things about your country and culture. The cherry blossom season is nearly over, but I hope you will have a chance to return to Japan again!
