Chère Miho Merci encore pour toutes ces belles découvertes. Nous n’aurions pas vu tout ça sans vous. La découverte d’un pays est bien plus agréable avec un bon guide comme vous. Nous ne vous publierons pas. Dear Miho Thanks again for all these beautiful discoveries. We wouldn’t have seen all this without you.

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.
The following are the numbers related to the guides that were executed during the month of June.
Number of guide requests: 22, Number of people requesting guides: 91. Number of days guides were conducted: 26 days, Number of people who participated in guides: 12
