Hiroyuki gave us a wonderful introduction to Nara by bike. He was flexible about meeting us, when our lunch lasted longer than we had expected; he showed us a traditional Chinese pharmacy, founded in 1124 and owned by 24 generations of the same family; he helped us explore local antique shops to find a deck of "100 poems" playing cards; he took us for a ride along the river to the Great Buddha Temple and bought crackers to feed the deer. We had no specific objectives for our visit, and were happy that Hiro was so creative in proposing things for us to do. We recommend him highly.
