I got an e-mail from Maggie.

Hi Junko



I'm just mailing to thank you for your help in Tokyo.


Clare and I both think that the volunteer guides are a terrific idea, and really enjoyed our time with you, Yoichi and Noriko.



Thanks again for coming out to meet us on such a foul day. We really enjoyed the morning at the museum.

Our train ride back to Osaka Kansai was very pleasant on the Shinkansen. Your trains are so clean and comfortable and the staff are so helpful and polite.


Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us.


Regards
Maggie

Goodwill free guides help you stroll in Tokyo

GOODWILL FREE GUIDES HELP YOU STROLL AROUND

TOKYO

If you'd like to know the real Tokyo, we'll help you!

We can be your volunteer guides based on a goodwill.

We're Japanese Non-profit volunteer organization named

"Volunteer Tour Guide Tokyo". We'd like to be your guides

because we want to show you many good points in Tokyo

that non-Japanese travellers never know.

In addition, we'd like to not only enjoy guiding but also

enjoy talking in English during the tour.


Please understand we're not professional guides.

We're native Japanese speakers, but not native English

speakers. You don't have to pay us guide fees at all.

(Appreciate if you would invite us transportation expenses,

admission fees to the museums and a light meal

during the tour.)


If you're interested in our volunteer work,

please feel free to e-mail us.

More than 25 registered guides are

looking forward to hearing from you soon!
