WhatsApp with Theresia:
The sake tasting was also a very interesting experience.
Special mention to Ryojisan (our guide for Kyoto) who was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide.

Hi Whitney,
How are you? I'm so sorry it took a long time for me torespond.
I attached below our pictures from Japan. The background musicthat we choose is A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay.
By the way, could you send my gratitude to Sya-san? I wasn'table to thank him properly last time. I texted him through the contact numberyou gave me, but I think he didn't receive it. Please tell him thank you for his service.
After a lot of mail exchange between us, we were finally able togo to Japan. Thank you, Whitney! It was an amazing experience. I will surely goback to Japan!
Here is our answer to the form you gave me last time.
1=poor,2=fair,3=good, 4=very good5=excellent
Aspect | Mark(1-5) | Advice or Remark | |
Travel Consultant | 5 | Everything was smooth. Communication was excellent. | |
Tour Guides | Command of English | 4 | From all the tour guides, Atsushi-san (from Tokyo City Tour) was the best. Overall, all tour guides spoke good English. |
Knowledge of Subjects | 5 |

Ability of Explain | 5 | It's great that they welcome questions warmly. | |
Attitude | 5 |

Flexibility | 5 |

Drivers and Cars | 4 | When we arrived at Narita Airport, we didn't see Sya-san at first (I did not contact him because my sim was not working). So we first went to rent a wifi device 10-15 minutes later, I went back to the entrance part and we met there. When we arrived at the hotel, he made a mistake and mistook another building as Shiba Park Hotel. It was a bit embarrassing since we actually entered the wrong building. There was also a bit of communication problem because he didn't speak much English. Eventually we found Shiba Park Hotel, which was at the back of the building we entered. It was okay, he really did apologise. Of course it would be better if these didn't happen, but all of these are just minor things. We actually feel thankful for his service. | |
Hotels | Location | 4 | All hotels were located really convenient, except maybe Hotel Okada and Shiba Park Hotel. I don't really mind, but my parents prefer if we are near the station. |
Comfort | 4 | Comfortable hotels, but the triple bedroom of Shiba Park Hotel was a bit cramped. | |
Sights or Activities | Worthiness of Visit | 5 | It was fun. It would have been better if we didn't go back to Tokyo on the evening of Day 6 and just stayed at Osaka overnight. We could have exited through Kansai Airport. |

Too Tight or Too Loose? | 5 |
| |
Meals | 5 | Tasty meals! Especially our lunch on Day 2. | |
Public Transportation (train, flight, cruise, etc.) | 4 | On Day 6 when we rode Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo, it would have been better if it was noted that we already had reserved seats. I had to ask the staff from the hotel just to make sure. | |
Any Other Aspect |

Overall Score of the Whole Package | 4 | There are some areas for improvement but overall it was worth it. |
