“Thank you for showing us Asahikawa!”
I want to recommend Mayu sensei to anyone who wishes to visit Asahikawa, Furano, and Biei. Mayu sensei is an absolutely fantastic guide. She drives safely in the snow, treats us with kindness, and planned a fantastic itinerary for us. In the end, we took up more time than we had initially agreed because we were traveling with a toddler, but she was so considerate to us. Apart from the beautiful scenes we enjoyed, my family felt like we made a new friend today. We will find Mayu again the next time, and we strongly recommend her.
Mayu A.
Thank you for your nice words. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed today. It was so nice to have such a happy family like you. I wish I could get to talk to you more. But I had to concentrate on driving. Please keep yourself warm and enjoy the rest of your holiday in Hokkaido.
