“Sorry to Say”

UG is a very nice gentleman, but not a satisfactory guide. He did not know the basics of the two places he directed us to, the imperial Gardens and the Major Temple. I had to rely on ChatGPT for the relevant information. Also, he did not know where the appropriate entrances were causing us to walk quite a bit out of the way at the garden. Finally, his English is only OK. Ultimately we cannot recommend this Guide, but we wish him well as he is a very nice fellow.

Yuji O.

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. I sincerely apologize that my guiding did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the information about the Imperial Gardens and the temple, as well as the route and entrances. I take your comments seriously and will use them to improve my preparation and guiding skills. I truly appreciated your kindness throughout the day and wish you all the best in your travels. Yuji.O

Thank you so much for the opportunity to spend an enjoyable week with your family. It was a great pleasure for me to enjoy a memorable trip with the family of a loving father with honest children. I hope to see you again when you come back to Japan.
