As an introvert, I was actually quite nervous about the potentially awkward atmosphere, and I even considered canceling the tour after gathering the courage to book it. However, if I had canceled, I would have deeply regretted it.
The tour guides, "Toshi and Midori", are incredibly thoughtful and kind-hearted people. Even if you have a vague fear or hesitation about Asian culture, this tour is such a warm and beautiful experience that it will completely change your perspective.
Moreover, the fellow travelers I met today were like angels—so kind and considerate of one another. It was a rare, precious group that I might never encounter again. It was truly a happy day that filled my heart with warmth.
