I went to the Village Vanguard, which had been my dream for a long time. Since I was traveling alone, I didn't know anything about how to get there, how to enter, or how to order drinks, so it was really helpful to join a tour and have a guide assist me. Our guide, Sasaki-san, was kind, polite, and helpful, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. It was a great experience for me to be able to go to a long-established jazz club in New York, the home of jazz, and hear live music.
