Yusuke was easy to communicate with even before the tour and was accommodating when I had to change the date. The new date happened to fall on Arimatsu’s Annual Tenmansha Autumn Festival and he was excited to catch it with me too. He was open, interested in languages and pretty zen, not hurrying or watching the time. We walked around the old town, attended the Shibori workshop, had lunch together in an old house, visited an old warehouse, prayed at the shrine, had coffee, watched the floats…while he shared the history, culture etc of the place. It was like visiting Arimatsu with a local guide and a friend. I would recommend visiting Arimatsu with Yusuke (and his wife/assistant if you were lucky) and hope that you will enjoy the tour as much as I had.
