Lucy contacted us beforehand to make sure we were happy with her proposed itinerary. She met us at the station and took us downtown by bus before we visited the famous market, the Samurai area (including an old Samurai house), the castle and the beautiful Kenrokuen Gardens. Lucy was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Japan - especially the Samurai period and clearly had come to love the garden in all of its seasons. She was extremely good company and pitched all aspects of the tour to our requirements. It was a wonderful experience.

Lucy showed us the markets, the Samurai district (including an old Samurai house) the castle and its park and the Kenrokuen Gardens.. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the city, especially the history, and was very easy company. She was considerate of the things we particularly wanted to see and also of our physical limitations. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.
