Greetings

Hello!

I'm English-French-Japanese speaking Japanese tour guide living in a small city "Inzai", Japan.

As a Japanese tour guide for overseas visitors, it has become a habit to write down anything Japanese or cross-cultural that I come across so that I might be able to use it later when I do my guiding job.

Well, in this blog, I will try to show some of  such discoveries, observations, and phenomena with some comments and reflections.

By the way the title "Gintonic's Japan Memo" comes from my nickname as a tour guide. For those who have some difficulty memorizing my real name "Hitoshi Shimamoto", I use the nickname "Gintonic".

I hope I will be able to continue this blog for a long time.
