I guided a couple, passengers of the Diamond Princess. They were so impressed to see Japanese ladies in kimono at a tea ceremony held at Tsurugaoka
Hachimangu Shrine. They also spoke to
high school students in English and enjoyed introducing themselves each
other. Taking a rest at Hasedera Temple,
they were deeply impressed with a splendid view from the observation platform. At Kotokuin Temple they were fascinated with how
big and maginificent the Great Buddha is and also his benevolent face.
