French Family Very Happy with Japanese Sushi
I took a French family of four to Sushizanmai, a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in Tsukiji. They were delighted with the fatty tuna (o-toro) and medium-fatty tuna (chu-toro). They made sure to note the restaurant's name and address, saying they would definitely return there if they ever visit Japan again.

Brazilian family enjoyed Japanese culture and food
The family of 4 spent two hot and humid days in Tokyo. At the Tourist Information Center, they could try on Japanese kimono for free and specially a husband was praised by the staffs because of being fit well. At Asakusa, they ate lunch of Japanese noodle (SOBA) at the traditional restaurant which has a history of more than 160 years. Their speciality is soba with shrimp TEMPURA. They loved these dishes and finished off.
Brazilian couple in east side of Tokyo in a hot day
It was really hot day but the couple enjoyed one full day in the Shitamati areas where common people used to live. They are Asakusa, Kiyosumi Shirakawa and Monzennakachoo districts where many temples and shrines are located on top of the beautiful Japanese garden. I hope that they could touch a part of Japanes cultures and traditions.
With the increase in the number of tourists visiting Japan, the number of guide requests to our Association has increased as well.

Incidentally, the number of guide requests to our association from January to June this year was 267, an 18% increase from the same month last year.
