“ Beautiful day in Matsushima ”
Matsushima is a must see if you are in Tohoku and Mai is an excellent guide to explore everything it has to offer. She is thoughtful and kind and everything went very smoothly. We even got to use the 1st class deck of the cruise ship for free. Her passion for the Tohoku region is infectious and she was able to recommend many other places of interest. She can provide the history of the area and background on its culture. We were lucky to have such wonderful weather too which always helps! Thank you Mai for your company during my time in Sendai on both day trips.

“ Yamadera and Rinnoji ”
I had an excellent day exploring Yamadera with Mai. She was very knowledgeable and organised and the day trip was very enjoyable. She was generous with her time and we even managed to fit in an extra stop at Rinnoji once back in Sendai. I would highly recommend spending your time in Yamadera with Mai. There is no substitute for a local guide.

“ A Wonderful Day ”
Mai and I had a great time in the mountains, where we did a hike through Omoshiroyama and then walked to Yamadera and did the temple steps climb. She was super fun to talk to. I would absolutely recommend her.
