About Tour Guide Mana F.

Dear Michelle, Thank you very much for sending such a wonderful review so quickly. Because the weather is often unpredictable at this time of year, I normally do not accept many full-day tours during this season. However, thanks to you, yesterday turned out to be a truly wonderful experience for me as well. The crowds were astonishingly light—probably less than one-third of the usual number of visitors. Everything felt surprisingly peaceful and relaxed. Most importantly, we were able to enjoy beautiful flowers in shades of blue, such as hydrangeas and gentians, as well as lovely lotus blossoms. They offered a completely different kind of beauty from the pink cherry blossoms of spring or the red and yellow autumn leaves. And perhaps the best bonus of all was seeing the newborn baby monkeys! In Japan, when we are blessed with good weather and good fortune, we often say, “It is thanks to your daily good deeds and efforts.” So I would like to say the same to you. Thank you, thank you very much! I truly appreciate it. Mana

Dear Jose, Thank you very much for your wonderful review, even though Kyoto’s unique hot and humid weather meant we could not finish the tour to the end. Kyoto, known as the thousand-year capital, has inherited many traditional and unique cultural customs. Bamboo is considered a symbol of long life in Japan. Next time, I hope you can visit Japan — the country of longevity — during a more comfortable season. I wish you both good health and happiness for many years to come. Thank you Mana

Dear Andre Thank you very much for sending me your review. It was a very hot and humid day, and some people were not feeling well, so it was quite challenging, but I’m very glad that I was able to guide both of you until the end of the tour. Has everyone recovered since then? I sincerely hope that all of you will stay healthy and continue enjoying wonderful trips together in the future! Even when you’re young, you shouldn’t be overconfident about your health! haha Thank you Mana
