Letter for Nobusan

Nagata-san,
Thank you so much.  You made my trip to Kyoto memorable.
Your inside knowledge of Kyoto helped us to enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves.
The exercise climbing to Jingo-ji was healthy as well as the fresh mountain air.
The secret shrine in Nara was a delight.
Take care of yourself, your wife.
Best Wishes

 

Dear Mr. Nagata,
I enjoyed your guide very much.
With your help and your jokes, the long distance climbing to Jingo-ji seemed easier.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Please send my regards to your wife.
