Marco was a great host with extensive knowledge of food and drinks. He showed me some interesting parts of Nagoya and took me to his favourite soba restaurant in town. I had a mini sake tasting sessions with Marco which I thoroughly enjoyed. Marco also provided tasty warabimochi for me to take on my hiking tour. Thank you very much!
