He was patient with the children, who were quite fussy because the temperature outside was around 39 degrees Celsius. I warmly recommend him.”

GOKU was a perfect host :) Not only he showed us detailes, taught us how to feed the deer, navigated seamlessly through parks, temple and shrine, he is very knowledgeable in the site's history and meaning as well as interested in learing about other cultures too. Highly recommended! :) Thank you…”
