Arigato gozaimasu for all the answers!!!

 
I see that many customers have interests in historical things about Japan like old architectures and traditional arts of Japan.
Some even had their own favorite Ryokan!! Arigato gozaimasu for finding many great things about Japan.

I also noticed that traditional foods like Sushi and Tempura are already available in many countries, but not
many desserts!!!??? very interesting!  

 
I realized that you know a lot about Japan, but I know a little about our customers.
It was such a great opportunity to get to know more about you!!!
Arigato gozaimashita for your time and wonderful communication!
