The number of the participants of this tour was the largest ever and we finished our guiding tour successfully. After the tour, I received “Thank-you email” from visitors one after another, some of them saying that they never forget the tour in their life. As can be expected from that, this tour was fruitful. I talked with them and found the actual situation that they rarely have chance to talk with common Japanese people and learn about Japan while staying in Japan. I realized that it is intensely meaningful to offer the guiding tour for them who have come to Japan with hope and dreams as they can have chances to talk with Japanese people and know more about Japan.
