Gintonic's Japan Memo

I'm English-speaking tour guide in Japan. More exactly, English-French-Japanese-speaking tour guide in Inzai, a small nature-rich city with easy access to Tokyo and Narita Airport.

Here are my photos and viewpoints over things Japanese. I hope they will help you deepen your understanding of Japan and come to like the Japanese.

Click on photos twice! With each click they get enlarged.
