I received a thank you email from an Italian.
Dear Tsune, we would like to thank your association very much, which introduced us to Mr. Toru Shirasawa to accompany us on our visit in Tokyo. Toru is the extraordinary person that everyone would like to find upon arrival in a foreign country. His competence, professionalism and kindness supported us for all our needs. We will carry these days in our hearts and we will recommend your name Italy. Thank you very much.
Summer vacation in Japan, a surge of tour guide applications from high school students
With the start of summer vacation, we are receiving many offers from high school students to volunteer as guides. They say that when they studied abroad, they were treated kindly by the local people and would like to return the favor. In our association, we start by educating new members. They attend training, participate in OJT (on-the-job training), and then conduct guided tours. We hope to hire them once they are able to continue their activities.
