Amazing Tour of Tokyo and Kiyosumi Shirakawa- Thank you Daisy! - Today, I visited Kiyosumi Shirakawa and Kiyosumi Garden for the first time with Daisy as my tour guide! Daisy’s explanations were clear, informative, and most of all, interesting. I was able to see so many birds, fish and snapping turtles in the soothing garden it was hard to believe that I was even in Tokyo! I was able to relax and refresh. Daisy was also such an adorable and friendly tour guide and spoke both English and Japanese very well, making it such a fun time! I also tried making traditional Japanese sweets for the first time on her tour. It was a challenging experience, but the sweets turned out delicious and it was a great experience. It was an amazing feeling when I was able drink matcha tea with the sweets I made myself. If I come back to Tokyo, I would definitely join this tour again! Thank you for the wonderful experience, Daisy! — 今日は初めて清澄庭園に来ました。DAISYさんに案内してもらって、説明もわかりやすく勉強になりました。鳥さんや亀やスッポンなどみれて、癒されました。日本の庭園でゆっくりのんびりできてリフレッシュできました。DAISYさんもとてもキュートで英語はもちろん日本語も上手で楽しい時間を過ごせました!初めて和菓子作りにチャレンジしました。大変でしたが、美味しくできて良い経験になりました。自分で作った和菓子を抹茶といただいた時は感動しました。 また参加したいと思います!楽しい時間をありがとうございました☺︎
