What's a Private Cruise Port Day Tour of Takamatsu Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visitors from North America who came to Takamatsu as part of a cruise ship tour visiting various regions of Japan (Tokyo, Hakodate, Toyama, Sakaiminato, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Takamatsu, Kobe, and more). I guided them around Ritsurin Garden, Shikoku Mura, and Takamatsu Castle, and they listened attentively to my explanations. Because we used a taxi, we were able to visit all three places. The weather was wonderful, and the guests enjoyed the classic sights of Takamatsu. I was also fortunate to have such lovely guests, and it was a pleasure to guide them.

Hello. My name is Hisao Kaji. I was born in 1945. I was raised in Takamatsu City from 3 years old. So, I have been living in Takamatsu for around 75 years. I believe I know Takamatsu City and the Kagawa prefecture area very well. If you come to Takamatsu, Kagawa I think you can enjoy your tour with me. I started a Government Licensed Guide in 2019. So, I have been a licensed guide for about 5 years. My favorite destinations are Naoshima, Teshima, Ritsurin Garden, the top of Mt. Yashima and so on. I always show you an itinerary about one month before your tour date, and I will accept any questions, other favorite places you want to visit. Communicating with you, I would like to accommodate your request for your tour. I always listen to NPR on the internet to know how the world is moving and improve my English. I like conversation based upon it with my life. I stayed in the USA for 8 months for a Power Systems Engineering Course conducted by General Electric in New York State when I was 28 years old. I sometimes talk about my memory of those days with the guests. I am very happy to guide tourists because I can see the guests become happy and enjoy themselves when I am guiding better. Nothing is more wonderful than that. I welcome your visit to Takamatsu City and Kagawa Prefecture. I believe you will have a pleasant time through my guide.
