Masaharu:
Dear Donald-san,
Thank you for your nice review and very encouraging message.
It was my great pleasure sharing your valuable time together in touring around characteristic spots in Tokyo. I am just grateful if you enjoyed learning various aspects of authentic history and traditional culture in off the beaten path places, as well as main tourists venues.
I also enjoyed myself learning a lot from you through our conversation about many things in USA.
Looking forward to seeing you again in the near future.
Thank you very much again and wishing you all the best! Masaharu
