Memories of "Tourist Hospitality Staff"

※ View of Edo Sakura-dori St.

In the background of the buildings designated as important cultural properties, the cherry blossoms in full bloom bloom as if competing for the festival is wonderful.

It's a time when the Nihonbashi area is wrapped in gorgeousness.

Every year, the cherry blossoms in Tokyo were in full bloom at the end of March, but this year's day-to-day weather is changing.

An unusual scenery that the cherry blossoms in full bloom coincided with the time of new enrollment has appeared.

 

By the way, a tour mainly consisting of a cherry blossom viewing cruise and a stroll under the flowers was planned based on the end of March.

The guides who guide the tour customers will also be in trouble.

The flowers are not blooming, and the rainy weather every day. Cruises are also suspended due to the increasingly strong wind and rain.

Well, what should I do?

"How was the long-established specialty lunch of Japanese cuisine?

Now, it's time to take a walk around Nihonbashi. Unfortunately, it's a little heavy rain outside.

The cherry blossom cruise has already been suspended.

At this time of last year, the cherry blossoms on the street were in full bloom, but this year it seems to be a little further ahead.

But it's okay. Nihonbashi is full of attractions.

I will serve as a guide cheerfully and cheerfully so that it will be a good time.

Thank you very much.

"Tourist hospitality staff" is recruiting the Chuo-ku Tourism Association to introduce the appeal of the city, guide the town walk tour, and interpret.

The application type is (1) Japanese tourist guide. (2) Foreign language tourist guide. (3) There is a foreign language tourism interpreter supporter.

Application conditions vary depending on the type.

(1) The sightseeing guide in (2) needs to pass the "Chuo-ku Tourism Certification", and will gain knowledge and experience through attending various workshops.

 

The activities of guides who actually walk with customers in various places in the city are response to change every time.

A unique guide

There are a lot of people who are experienced in the guide.

I was blessed with the opportunity to teach a lot of things.

If you want to make a difference between those seniors and myself, have you heard stories from many guides on your journey from the customer's point of view?

On top of that, what can be clearly said ...

The customer hardly remembers the story of the guide.

It may be a rough way to say, but the story of a guide who took care of me before the tourist destination has almost disappeared from my memory by the time I eat dinner.

When I looked back at the pamphlet and the photos I took, I thought, "Speaking of that, the guide was fun."

The first role of the guide is to guide you to your destination safely and securely on time scheduled.

 

We will summarize a considerable amount of scripts and materials each time for the tour performance.

We also conduct a preview of the course several times, adjust the physical condition and start the actual performance.

It is a work to keep the memories of "I enjoyed it."

It's a matter of course, isn't it?

And in the actual production, I think it is important to cut down the script once created according to the customer and do not dare to talk.

 

Occasionally, I sometimes hear the words, "I couldn't speak well because of something."

Efforts to communicate are necessary, but I think it's dangerous to think that what you say is conveyed.

Things are unlikely to go according to the scenario.

It is the role required of the guide to respond to unexpected situations.

It is difficult to move with an umbrella during rainfall.

Sometimes you choose a course that goes along the underpass to keep your clothes wet as much as possible.

In Nihonbashi, there is a strong ally in a place that does not get wet in the rain.

"Kidai Shoran" is located on the wall of the underground concourse between Exit A5 and Exit A3 of Mitsukoshimae Station.

 

The customer read the commentary while saying, "Tozai east and west, even though."

I tried to match the flow of the voice in the low-tone part.

"Tozai east and west, the picture scrolls that spread here are Nihonbashi, one of the most famous in Oedo Yaohachi-cho."

There aren't many customers who can read it for the first time.

The person who would look good in Japanese clothes seemed to be quite elaborate.

Take a look at the "Scenery of Oedo, which is the winner of Miyo, who is right away."

 

The applauded involuntarily.

※ From the spread page of the pamphlet

 

As it is, everyone went into the picture of Nihonbashi 200 years ago.

I loved the people coming and going, passed through the frustrating people, looked into the goods lined up with merchants, and looked for the animals drawn.

Enjoy walking around the city of Edo.

Even on a rainy day, let's change it to a bright mood.
