March, 2018, I guided an American couple in Kyoto. I crafted their itineraries incorporating my recommendations, visited Murin-an garden for a few peaceful moments in the morning and Honmanji for the weeping cherry tree which was in bloom, both of them were quite happy about the places we covered today. The husband is a fan of sake, so I made sure he purchased some Kyoto sake at Nishiki Market.

Nov.2017: I took a couple from Switzerland to Zen meditation and tea ceremony experience and Gion area. During the meditation session, I helped the guests communicate with a monk. The husband mentioned a flow of movements about golf-swing, which got the monk well into the topic and created philosophical conversation. Said the monk, " You can do a meditation anytime anywhere".

Oct.2017: I ran a Gion evening tour for a group of three. Two of them has read or seen Memoir of a Geisha, I was quite happy to explain Geisha culture in depth. An art work done by a prominent artist and the story about the similarity between Maiko and Sumo wrestlers well attracted them. It was one day after the harvest moon night, the night was falling as I was explaining what we saw on Moon.
