I received a thank you email from an Indian tourist
Dear Tsune san, Thank you so much for your incredible kindness and for being so flexible. I really appreciate you taking the time to show me around, especially with the short notice and changes in our plans. Learning about the shrine’s history, understanding the prayers, and discovering the ritual with you made the whole experience incredibly special. Your positive energy and genuine passion were absolutely contagious, making my trip far more amazing than I ever imagined! I am also so grateful for your help in finding the perfect kimono rental and for guiding me to choose just the right one. You’re truly a wonderful person, and I feel so lucky […]
