A Hidden Holy Place in Akita: The Seitai Hoshikai〜3

Otemon Gate

I have a contract with an online travel platform called GoWithGuide, and I guide foreign tourists in English.
I suggest two model courses in Akita Prefecture on my GoWithGuide page.

One is a five-hour walking tour around the central part of Akita City.
The other is an eight-hour tour to Yurihonjo City by car, including a visit to a sake brewery.

However, guests have always requested to go to the places they want to visit, so I have never used my model courses through the platform.
It is very difficult for me to create a course that meets all their wishes.
I want guests to have an enjoyable and meaningful time in Akita City, so I email them to ask where they want to go, where they do not want to go, what food they want to try, and what food they cannot eat.

A couple and their friends from Mexico sent me thirty-six emails before we met.
The husband wrote some of the emails in Spanish, and I used ChatGPT to help translate them.
They had many places they wanted to visit, so I organized the tour based on their wishes.

This is the list of sightseeing spots and restaurants they wanted to visit.
