Title: What Is a Family-Friendly Private Tokyo Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were a group visiting Japan. They were very kind, and it turned out to be an enjoyable tour, with the group warming up to me nicely. The tour was centered around family-friendly activities, and the guests purchased many items such as gachapon capsule toys and dolls. The group were baseball fans, so we had a lively conversation about the player Ohtani, and I explained Ohtani's "mandala" goal-setting chart.
The meeting point was the Marunouchi Central Exit of Tokyo Station, but it happened to be closed on the day, which caused some difficulty. However, we contacted each other by email and were able to meet without any problem.
