To briefly explain about my background, I lived in LA from 1899-1994 during my elementary and junior high school years, and my childhood experiences have led me to join the current business. After working for over 10 years in marketing at international corporations like MTV and Apple, I came to understand the benefits that authentic Japanese cultural experiences could have in leading to the discovery of new avenues in everyday life, marketing, strategy, and creative planning, as well as understanding business philosophies from a totally new perspective. This realization led me to join TOKI www.toki.toky — and basically, I fell in love with the service. The places which TOKI connects people with are hidden gems, and sometimes they are inaccessible for the locals to access as well. It would be much appreciated if you could spare some of your time to discuss what you are looking for and I will share with you how we can support your extensive trip with an unforgettable experiences. I am not sure where you are usually based at, if you could pass me few preferable dates and time to do a call I will try to make myself available. Please let me know your cell number, I can call you from Skype (you do not have to have a Skype account to receive the call from me).

She is looking for help coordinating, translation and other things. We discussed maybe spending time on tea ceremony and even spending time helping out at Minoya. I suggest the two of you have a phone call to discuss wither Toki can support what Karyna needs. - Joi <Financial Times_Sept 2016.png> EFTA00566594
