| 2009-10-11 | Doreen | 8 | 7 | 5 | 8 | No | I have already given him his gift, but, thank you for your time. I gave him smoked salmon and some chocolates. Yes, the issue of not knowing what he likes was large; someone I came across who has spent a lot of time in Japan suggested something to eat with beer, which was very helpful, and something to share with his family. I thought, since he works such long hours, that a specialty coffee would be great but I didn't know if he drinks coffee. |

| 2008-09-04 | James | 10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | Yes | The Limosine Bus was the best way to get to Tokyo. It was 3000 yen per person and dropped us off at a major hotel which was 3 blocks from our hotel. You were right about your response, if you have luggage the bus is the best way. You can also perchase a return bus ticket at any hotel were the buss stops. Thank you. |
