Our guide was Mao. She was super friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. I think we were her first tour and as such she was still learning the ins and outs of guiding someone. We would have liked to have learned more about the significance of each place. Lovely gal. Awesome sites.
We have been participating in the Adult Juku, which is a wonderful venue with a panoramic view of Akasaka State Guest House and other places! You can listen closely to the big politicians every time. This time, that Mr. Muneo Suzuki took the stage. I was able to hear the essence of why relations with Russia are important. Thank you very much.
Ryu was an awesome guide - very friendly, informative and flexible with our itinerary. He took me round the main shrines on New Years Day which is no mean feat but we timed it well around the crowds thanks to his planning. I really enjoyed the range of shrines from local to popular, and stopping off at a local japanese sweet shop as we went round! Thank you for a great afternoon. Highly recommend!
