About Tour Guide Mayu A.

Hi, I am Mayu. I can speak English and Spanish (for guiding my Spanish needs to be polished. But I can communicate). I have had experiences as a tour leader for groups of Japanese tourists to foreign countries and foreign tourists in Japan, Tokyo, Osaka. Kyoto, Hiroshima, Kanazawa and many other cities.

I live in Hokkaido. My tours are around my city, Asahikawa. But I can customize your plan and take you around Japan. (Please let me know 2 weeks before your plan.) Even if my days are not available on my calendar, I could arrange them for you. So please ask me for availability.

I like hiking and cycling. If you are interested in those things, I will make a plan for you.

I am looking forward to showing you around Japan.

Important note:Please take a travel insurance if you take my driving guide tour. Your insurance detail is required.


Hola, Me llamo Mayu. Soy guia turistica. Puedo comunicar bien en Español. Pero tal vez no sería suficiente para hacer turismo. Si le gusta que le guie, después de comunicar con usted, será un placer.

Perfect day exploring Biei and Furano

After getting a headache trying to figure out how to use the Lavender train and buses to get around Biei and Furano, I threw in the towel and decided a guide would be the less frustrating and more efficient way to go. BEST DECISION EVER!!! My 2 kids and I had an AMAZING day in Biei and Furano with Mayu. I LOVED Mayu's energy and demeanor from the get go. Her knowledge of the area and history brought the area to life! She is also very flexible and kindly accommodated me when I wanted to visit a flower farm we were driving by that was not on the itinerary. We really enjoyed her company, it felt like we were driving around with a friend. Mayu is an excellent, safe driver, and the ride in her cute car was smooth and comfortable. The kids (12 and 15) liked her a lot - which is a great endorsement! I HIGHLY recommend Mayu's tours, you will have a WONDERFUL day wherever you go! A++++++++++++++++++

Thank you so much for your nice review about my tour. It was fun to spend the day with you and your kids and I learned things about the U.S. through our converstation and enjoyed it. I will remember that your kids had a trouble with bugs and the green fat caterpillar. I am really glad to hear that you enjoyed the day. Pleaae keep traveling safely and have fun.

Perfect day around Asahikawa Hokkaido

Mayu has brought the best out of a rainy day. Initially planned a hiking trail tour at Mount Asahidake. But the continuously rainy weather made that impossible so she found beautiful alternatives at a miraculous blue lake and a fantastic waterfall. Then nice landscapes and flower fields. At the end a good wine tasting. Additionally she helped us in the hotel with personal arrangements. Thank you Mayu for the perfect day!

I am happy if I could help you have a wonderful time in Asahikawa area even though it was rainy and you could not see Mt. Asahi. I hope that you can enjoy Lake Toya area with Furano wine watching the fireworks. Please do not miss the fire work. For your info, if you have not seen Team Lab in Tokyo, actually in Osaka, too, please check that out. All of my tour members who saw them loved it.
