“Aya is very generous with information and really wants to have an impact on visitors so that they leave feeling they have had a personal connection to Japan. She was so patient in explaining everything to us and the meaning behind everything in the Senso-ji Temple and its history. She has a gift of making its significance connect back to each visitor. She taught me how to make a wish and properly pray in the temple too. Priceless! Thank you Aya!”
