This trip to Hiroshima was the completion to a desire by my husband to see what he’d missed on a trip to Japan 40+ years earlier. Kazuko did an amazing job picking us up at our hotel and shepherding us through incredibly moving experiences in Hiroshima, found us a great restaurant for lunch, and even found time for the us to visit a beautiful Japanese garden where we saw so many varieties of Cherry Blossoms (the ladies dream). She even managed to shift gears and find us what we needed when a problem arose. Her commentary was insightful and made the day so much more meaningful. At the end of the day with cameras full of pictures and full hearts, she dropped us back at the hotel. There really was nothing she could have done to improve on our day.
Thank you very much for your wonderful and heartfelt review. We are truly delighted to hear that your trip to Hiroshima was such a meaningful and memorable experience, especially as it fulfilled a long-held wish for your husband. It means a great deal to us to have been a part of such a special journey. We are also very happy to hear your kind words about Kazuko. She will be thrilled to know that her guidance, flexibility, and care helped make your day so enjoyable—from the moving experiences in Hiroshima to the cherry blossoms and garden visit. Thank you again for choosing us for your trip in Japan. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future. Warm regards, Saaya MY Travel Consulting Inc.
