I usually say thanks whenever I would in America. I notice Japanese people don't in many cases I do because I'm America. To me it's important to be as Japanese as possible and be a part of the culture as a native would but when it comes to something simple like this why not be American and just say thanks? どうも～ works fine

Yeah, I lived in 栃木市 for 2 years. I went to Sano a couple of times.
