I guided a Ukrainian couple living in London.
On March 31st, the last day of Japan's fiscal year, there was a hectic atmosphere in Tokyo. However, fortunately, the Imperial Palace was open to the public, so we were able to enjoy the cherry blossoms that were just beginning to bloom. The petals of each type of cherry blossom vary in color and shape, and the guests, who were visiting Japan for the first time, took many photos and enjoyed spring in Japan. We toured from Tokyo Station to Ueno Park, Asakusa, and Ginza, and ended the day by chatting at an Izakaya-Pub. It was a memorable day. (Guide T. Terada)
Be careful of FAKE site when make reservation of amusement facilities.
The Brazilian family I guided, tried to cancel a portion of the reservation on Sky Tree but failed to do so because it was found that the reservation had been done by the so-called re-sale site. Higher prices should be charged on top of not being able to cancel. According to a staff, this kind of problem has been increasing recently and as a matter of fact, she only had four same cases on that day only. Thus when the reservation of Sky Tree, TOKYO TOWER and other amusement facilities is done, we need to make sure that the site used is official one.
We received a thank-you e-mail from a British couple whom our guide Terada showed around Tokyo on March 31.
Dear Terada-san, We came back safely to London yesterday after our first trip to Japan. The trip was amazing!!! We discovered a lot of new things about this unique country in one of the beautiful seasons when sakura is in bloom.The weather was not always nice, but we felt warm welcome from Japanese people,and could see Fuji-san three times despite the rain and storm, which is more important! We really appreciate all your help and support that was provided to us before the trip at the planning stageand during our day full of impressions from sightseeing. We need to say thank you as well to your colleagues,members of your association […]
