Dear Karyna,
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Romy Yamada and I am an Experience
Curator at TOKI, based at Tokyo.
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 TOM www.toki.tokyo — 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 Skypc
(you do not have to have a Skype account to receive the call from me).
We have been featured in a few media outlets (most recently the Meridian), so please feel
free to take a look for your reading pleasure.

>> Dear Joi-San,
Thank you very much for introducing me to Karyna. I will be in touch with her separately
to set a call to discuss in details. Tea ceremony and Minoya would be a great
idea!

Romy,
Karyna is a friend and she is thinking about doing a longish (maybe 1 month) visit to Japan
EFTA_R1_00033733

to learn about Japanese culture. 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 Told can support what
Karyna needs.
