When I guided you, I was very happy. You were very gentlemen and gentlewomen. Yes, from my side I thank you so much. Maybe someday in winter, if we can see you one more time in Hokkaido, I will be very happy one more time. Please take care, and keep enjoying tour and you life.

Our guide took us to Goryeski park and the tour. We got a really good overview of the city from the tower, and a great history of the area and the fort/magistrates offices. We then went to the Jolly jellyfish for lunch, and finally to the historic warehouse shopping area. Good tour.

A very interesting visit with a very professional and charming guide (Fumiko). He made a very interesting proposition to suggest taking part of the tour by Taxi (paid separately).
In short, a magnificent visit.
