In many cities and towns in Japan, there are groups of this kind of good-will guides. It might help you in some way if you travel in Japan. Ask JNTO or the city office to find them. It is very nice, we believe, if you have friends in the country. You can enjoy more and see more than by just riding on a sightseeing bus. As for myself,( Harumi Okochi), I cover English speaking people, and Wizards and Witches of any country. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! ABRACADABRA!

Thank you very much for visiting this page. I hope you will return next month. Yours, Harumi Okochi Proprietress of Ryokan Yoyokaku   Mail to Harumi Okochi
