Ayaka was the star of the tour <3
Ayaka had a bubbly personality and was so kind. She always asked if we were okay since the walk had some hills and slopes. She took us to all the nice picture spots and even took some great pictures of us. She even helped my wife find 3 goshuin at the shrines. We had such a blast, she was funny, delightful and the tour was educational. The tour concluded with a beautiful tea ceremony. It was the perfect end to a memorable morning. Thank you Ayaka!
