  • Medical / care trips — hospital accompaniment and calm logistics in 日本語.

  • Pace for your group — especially useful for food, French speakers.
  • Use local judgment — Old Montreal + one food neighborhood.

  • Food & energy — tell the guide about kids, elders, allergies and preferred meal length.
  • Language expectation — ask whether Japanese (日本語) is fluent conversation, not greetings only.
