East Garden of Imperial Palace Tour on 8-Apr-2023

Thank you for choosing our tour at East Garden of Imperial Palace on 8-Apr. We welcomed  38 guests from Italy, USA, Turkey, Switzerland, Israel, Australia, Brazil, Argentine and UK. I hope all of you enjoyed and our conversations during the tour. As promised, herewith the group photos and snapshots,to remember the fun times we shared. 

This year, we had warmer winter and March than usual, so I found many flowers bloomed earlier than usual, not only Sakura cherry blossoms but also others. One example is azalea (please see a thumbnail or above “Group C” photo). Usually it blooms late-April/early-May, but we can enjoy beautiful azalea flowers already.

By the way, I had a chance to learn ChatGPT at a seminar in the workplace. Such artificial intelligence (AI) system has been rapidly spread among us. To hear the perfect guide, I personally think the AI tour guide might be better than the one by human, though there are some error or inappropriate quotation. However, I totally believe such AI tour guide never gives us any wonderful experience through a real communication with local people. That is one reason why we travel, don’t you think?  

Once again, thank you so much for joining us on our tour. Your warm feedback on our TripAdvisor/Facebook/Instagram etc. motivate us to continue our volunteer activities. Also, please tell your family and friends about how you enjoyed our tour. Next time you’re in Tokyo, please join another one of our tours  at Asakusa, Meiji Shrine/Harajuku and Ueno Park. We’d love to see you again!
