We had a lovely time with our guide
Atsushi was wonderful. He made the day very imformative and fun. I hope that we can meet up again to see more of Tokyo. Best George
I also could enjoy my time with you. Meeting someone from a different culture and background is always fun for me. I hope you enjoy your time in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka, which have different historical cultures from Tokyo.
It was a hot and humid day in Nara. We had selected Mr Yang as our guide because he was the only guide that was willing to bring us to Nara and sent us back to the hotel. We covered most of the temples that I had listed for him. The temples were beautiful & peaceful and the workmanship were unbelievable. On top of that, Mr Yang brought us to the old town of Nara. The houses were beautiful and nostalgic. In one of the house, we were introduced to the toys that children played in the past in Nara. We ended the day tired (too much walking) but happily satisfied.
We had booked the Osaka 1 day tour for 1 Sep but were worried after learning that the typhoon Shanshan was headed towards Osaka on 30 Aug. Fortunately for us, the typhoon had left Osaka when we commenced our tour. Our tour guide was Mr Yang, a very accommodative guide. He was at his very best, bringing us to all the places in Osaka that I have listed down. Honestly, we could not have covered all those places without his guidance, especially with the confusing train network. In fact, he brought us back to Dotonbori for the 2nd time (on the next day) so that we could cover more shops (this was not in the itinerary). Anyway, I have to apologize to him for bringing him to watch the "whale" in the Aquarium Kaiyukan. It wasn't the whale that I had expected but just a "whale shark". In summary, we were drained, but it was a day well spent. Thanks.
