Dear Tsune Thank you for such a great tour. We had fun and just love your city and your country, and of course, its people.

We received a thank you email from a group of five American guests, which we'd like to share with you.New!!
Dear Tsune, Thank you so much for sharing your time, knowledge, and experiences with us. It was such a gift to us all! I so enjoyed meeting you and hearing about your life. I also don't think we could have very easily managed the trip to Nikko without you. We are so grateful to you! When I return home to Boston, I will upload the photo I took to share with you. Thank you for sharing those photos with me! I will certainly tell anyone I know going to Japan about our wonderful experience with the Kashiwa guides. Thank you again, Tsune san!
