Playing the game to read hiragana on signboards while waiting for a train
Three of us guided seven Mexicans including one female participant. We enjoyed the game to read hiragana, Japanese phonetic characters, on signboards while we were waiting for a train to Hase. When I showed them a Mexican map, they began to talk about their hometowns and we all warmed up. Though there were a lot of people everywhere, we could enjoy guiding them in Hasedera Temple even for a short time and showing them the Great Buddha in Kotokuin Temple.
