If this is your first time, here is what to expect.

You choose the day and the time. You choose how long to stay.

We agree on where to meet. It is a place we decide together.

You arrive as you are. There is nothing to prepare.

There is no test. You do not have to be interesting or clever.

You set the pace from the start. If you want to go slow, we go slow.

We talk a little first, so you feel at ease.

Then you rest and receive care. You can speak or stay quiet.

Simple Japanese is fine. Simple English is fine too.

If you are nervous, you can tell me. That is normal and welcome.

You are always in control. You can stop or slow down at any time.

A first visit is just a beginning. Nothing more is expected of you.
