Mizue “Mindy” was an amazing guide for Niigata. She carefully put together a very diverse tour that included: a panoramic view of the city, historic villa with traditional gardens, shopping at an open marketplace and a wonderful sushi lunch. Her communication and timely scheduling was unprecedented! Thank you for a wonderful day, Mindy.
