“Wonderful day with Akemi in Matsushima”

Akemi was wonderful, would book again. Although one of our group members speaks Japanese he was not familiar with the public transit. Having Akemi to smooth the transportation and help us understand how best to plan some of our future travel was worth the trip fee alone. She went above and beyond getting us a taxi for our group members who had injured a leg and was less mobile. Akemi had very interesting historical and cultural insight she shared with us and accommodated some last minute changes due to mobility and weather. Her English was excellent, she had great options available for our day and made it a lovely experience. Would highly recommend.

Thank you so much your kind review. I hope that you will enjoy the rest of your stay. Have a wonderful day!

“Sendai Walking and Eating”

Akemi is an excellent guide for this tour. She has extensive knowledge of Sendai’s current and historical culture. We had a great time eating dinner at a small - 7 stools - izakaya - the atmosphere and food were wonderful. We would never have found such a place.

“Perfect intro to Japan and Sendai”

I’ve been wanting to visit Japan for many years and finally made it happen. It can be a little overwhelming despite a strong desire to learn the culture. I decided to get a guide and found Mai. She’s from Sendai and helped expedite my learning and understanding of the culture and city so well. We started out on a cultural tour but as the day went on I wanted to see more izakayas and learn about the food. She’s very well-connected in the city. Mai was able to pivot on what I wanted so well. She understands and speaks English very well - I speak no Japanese - and can clearly articulate the history and culture of the city in a simple way for a beginner. It truly was a great experience. I would do another tour with Mai in Sendai! Thank you so much, it was great to meet you and come visit Chicago!
