5.00What a memorable tour Yukiko provided for us. She was most informative and quite personal and shared many important facts. My son shared with her about a Japanese toy that he had as I child she was kind enough to research the item and took us to a store that might had the item. We really enjoyed meeting Yukiko and now are friends on instagram. Best wishes on your studies in college. Warm Regards Ellen and Chris
