●実は外国人のお客様はこんなことを思っています!ということはありますか?
ユダヤ教、キリスト教、イスラム教といった世界の三大宗教は唯一神信仰であるため、敬虔な信者の方々の中には仏教寺院、神社などで参拝するのを避ける方がいます。そうした場合は、無理に押し付けずに、仏教・神道の多神教的な性格と大宗教の違いを理解しやすく説明するように心がけています。

●Have you had any "so that's what our foreign guests actually think!" moments?
Since Judaism, Christianity and Islam - three of the world biggest religions - are all monotheic, some of the more devout believers avoid visiting Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. In that case it's best not to force them but to explain the polytheic nature of Buddhism and Shinto and their differences from major religions in a way that is easy to understand.

In reality foreign visitors think so! Have you ever thought so?
Judaism, Christianity, Islam – believers of those world religions have faith in One and Sole God, so it will be better to avoid asking them to visit Shinto and Buddhist temples. In such matters you should carefully, without forcing, explain them about polytheism differences of Buddhism and Shinto from major religions in simple for understanding way.

●外国人のお客様をエスコートする時に心がけていることを教えてください。
常にお客様がどういう事柄(例えば、庭園、建築、仏教美術、伝統工芸…)に興味を持たれているかに注意し、あきさせないように訪問地にも変化をつけるようにしています。

Would you tell me what you are careful about when you escort the foreign customers?
I always try to pay attention to what the customers are interested in (for example, garden, building, Buddhism art and traditional art). I also escort them to the different spots. Then they do not get sick and tired of it.

May I have a message in English to customers?
I will be happy to help you make your stay in Kyoto a pleasant and unforgettable one.

◆How do you spend your weekends?
Every morning (not just on weekends) I watch world news on NHK and BS (mainly BBC) so I can keep track of major news of different countries!
Then I visit the local Komeda cafe, so I can gloss over the morning English paper and update my English vocabulary.

◆お客様へのメッセージ
京都では「KYOTO GRAPHIE京都国際写真祭」が今年の4/18~5/10に開催されていました。日本及び海外から9ヶ国14組の作家が参加し、メイン会場15ヶ所、サテライトイベント会場50ヶ所で行われており、あらためて京都の文化発信地としての役割の大きさも感じました。
海外からのお客様も多く、私も何組かご案内しましたが、中にはプロのコレクター(収集家)の方もいらして外国人の美術の捉え方、見方などとても興味深いものがありました。

◆Message for Customers
"KYOTO GRAPHIE Kyoto International Photography festival" was held from Apr. 18 to May, 10 of this year. 14 groups of artist from 9 countries in and out of Japan joined this festival. The sites are separated into 15 main sites and 50 satellite sites, and we felt Kyoto made a big contribution as trendsetting area of the culture. Many foreign travelers visited this event and I guided several groups including professional collectors. Their way of thinking and point of view for art was interesting.
