My reviews

    Akira met us at the cruise port and showed us how to use the train, which was very helpful. Then he walked us around a few sites like American Park with Earthquake memorial, Chinatown, and a 1200 year old shrine. He was available for questions and he let us take some pit stops as it was very hot and we needed a cold drink.
