The visitors got to Kamakura from Shinjuku by
Shonan Shinjuku Line, In the Genpei Pond, big red and white lotus flowerswere in
full bloom. When the wife was a schoolchild, she experienced home stay in
Fukuoka City. She fulfilled her long cherished
dream to meet her host mother in Tokyo. We took lunch leisurely at kaitenzush (revolving sushi restaurant). They seemed to like anago (conger-eel) and ikura (salmon
roe) among all. After lunch, in a nearby
shop, they found a big Totoro (anime), they ran into it. Both of them, who were
grown up with Japanese anime, looked around in the shop with great joy and
bought a lot of souvenirs. I guided them to Hasedera Temple and Kotokuin Temple,
and finished my guiding. “Thanks to your
guiding, we found the joy of our sightseeing doubled. We wish Singapore had a system like this.”
was their kind comment.
