Mr. F, a 60-year-old travel agency employee who came to Japan from the Philippines.
I visited Tsutenkaku as part of an inspection tour and was delighted to experience a different side of this iconic landmark. Learning about its history directly from an executive made the visit even more meaningful. This unique program offers visitors a deeper understanding of Tsutenkaku beyond sightseeing, and I would be happy to recommend it to our clients in the future.
