About Tour Guide Mai N.
Hi, I'm Mai.
I have several years of experience as a volunteer guide and I've lived in Finland for half a year.
Besides being a guide,I also study architecture as a hobby over the past several years.
That’s why I registered on this platform to create an original tour featuring architecture and latest trends for local.
Historical Japanese structures such as World Heritage is amazing, but
Japan has many wonderful contemporary structures like shrines and museums, which is designed by various architects.
I hope to show them with my tour.
I was born in Hokkaido and it's been about 10 years since I moved to Tokyo area.
I have always had a strong admiration for Tokyo, and have been exploring various attractive spots around the city.
That's why I'll not only guide you to the main tourist spots ,but also arrange unique experience according to your preference :)
=====
Traveling gives me a chance to get to know how other people live, their culture, and discovering new places . This is why I work as a guide, my goal is to give guests a real "local experience"--like what I've experienced on my travels so far.
Don't worry if you are not good at English.
Unfortunately, I can only speak Japanese and English, but I will do my best to make your tour as satisfying as possible using gestures and various other ideas.
Hope to see you soon!
Important
Basically the tour will be ended by 7:00pm.
Night tours are not available.

“ Amazing day at Yokohama and Harajuku ”
I am very happy choosing Mai as our guide in Yokohama and Harajuku/Omotesando. From the beginning, it was very easy to communicate with Mai about things to accomplish and places to visit during the tour. She recommended some sites and gave feedback regarding the route and the best day for the tour by taking into accounts traffic, for both vehicles and people. She is also a good photographer. During the tour, she was always helpful but unintrusive. We got the buy the Sugi Bee honey that my boys love, sneakers that are sold only for Japanese market for my youngest son and on top of that, snacked on amazing local gyozas. All in all, amazing trip. We will definitely contact Mai again whenever we are in Tokyo area. Arigatou gozaimasu Mai.
