Mie was wonderful! I would definitely recommend her as your guide. She has a wealth of knowledge and is very resourceful. I had little information and wanted learn about the town where my mother spent her 1930's childhood. Mie researched the town and an old address to share sites and information of the era. We saw the town's first train that operates to this day, the location of Mom's school and learned about it’s history, a museum with displays about emigration from Hiroshima in the late 1800's and beyond. She continued to find more places connected to my mother‘s childhood. Before the end of the day we actually found Mom’s neighborhood and the cemetery that holds the remains of my family, generations before! It was amazing! We saw and learned much more than expected. Thank you, Mie! It was a remarkable day with many memories to cherish.
