What Is a Private Takamatsu Walking Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

This was a private guided tour in Takamatsu for guests from North America. Both were very kind and friendly, which made them easy to guide. Some of the guests had visited Tokyo and Osaka several times before and had a good familiarity with Japan, and one spoke Japanese with clear and natural pronunciation. Throughout the tour, they listened very attentively to my explanations, which made guiding them truly rewarding. At lunchtime, the first restaurant I had planned to visit happened to be closed for the day, so I took them to another place that I sometimes go to myself. One of the guests praised the bukkake udon topped with shrimp tempura as the best udon they had ever tasted. It turned out to be a fortunate mistake, as I was able to bring them to such a good restaurant. The weather was fine, and they seemed to enjoy Takamatsu just as it was approaching cherry blossom season. I am also grateful to have received a high rating.

Tour Report by Kaji

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.
