Title: What Can You See on a Private Day Tour to Kunozan Toshogu with a Licensed Guide?
The guests were visiting from North America. In November, the weather was calm, neither hot nor cold, and Mount Fuji was clearly visible, making it a perfect day for sightseeing. When I shared this with them, they were very pleased. The guests climbed the stairs of Kunozan Toshogu Shrine with ease, which was reassuring for me as well. They were very pleasant to guide. Since Mount Fuji was clearly visible throughout the day, they seemed to be in great spirits. At each location, they used their mobile phones to send the scenery to family back in North America.

I am glad to introduce myself to the prospective tourists visiting Japan from abroad. My name is Yasuo Ochiai, but please call me “Yasu” if you have a chance to be my guests in Japan. I have been an English tourist guide for 37 years and having a good reputation from my guests. I am proud of having a good knowledge not only about the scenic spots in Japan but also about Japanese cultures, such as Kabuki, Noh, and Flower Arrangement. When I show you around the sightseeing spots, I always promise to treat you warmly and give the best explanation as much as possible. I hope that you will go back to your countries with good memories of Japan.
