For example, if you lived in Nagoya's American village with the Occupation Forces after the war, and you would like to feel the atmosphere of those days, I can take you to related places. Please feel free to tell me anything!! E.g. acupuncture to relieve travel fatigue, a barbershop to get a haircut, or anything else. I will accompany you as much as possible.
