Brothers from Norway and Switzerland, smiling for photos in kimono
I guided two brother tourists from Norway and Switzerland to Tokyo City, where they posed for photos wearing kimonos. The younger brother is holding a Japanese sword between his kimono and obi. It's not a real sword, so it can't cut anything.

A tourist from the Canary Islands to Kashiwa experiences a Buddhist monk's prayer at a temple.
I guided a gentleman from the Canary Islands through the Kashiwa shopping district. He was interested in the differences in food and prices. What interested him most was the prayer he asked a monk to perform for the safety of his family at the temple. He was grateful, saying it was a wonderful experience.
A Canadian gentleman shows interest in local life.
I showed a Canadian gentleman around my hometown, Kashiwa City. I gave him a tour of the shopping district in front of the station, and then answered his questions one by one over a meal. It would be a great pleasure for me if he was able to understand even a little.
