About Tour Guide Mayu A.
Hi, I am Mayu. I 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 my availability.
I like hiking and cycling. Also you can experience calligraphy, green tea ceremony, Japanese drum, Ainu weaving or cooking, dog sleding so on. If you are interested in those things, I will make a plan for you.
I am looking forward to showing you around Japan.

“Amazing Biei and Furano experience”
Mayu was a great guide for our family tour. Mayu was a wealth of knowledge of the different areas we visited and made the experience so much more enjoyable. It was also great to have a guide that spoke English very well. We visited Ningle Terrace, the Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls, Ken and Mary tree, 7 Stars tree, and it was great to hear the history of how they became famous landmarks. Also the recommendations for where to eat was greatly apprecaited! Mayu was very accomodating and arrived early so that we could start the tour without any delays. I would highly recommend using Mayu for your tour of the Furano and Biei.

Thank you for your great review about the tour. After going back home, there were a few things I regretted like I should have brought a sleigh for the kids or I wish I could have a better story telling. But while driving, it is difficult sometimes. I hope you had a wonderful christmas holiday in Japan. Please let me know if you come to Hokkaido again. Take care.

“A truly amazing guide Asahikawa to Furano !”
Highly recommend Mayu for an unforgettable tour! We traveled from Asahikawa to Furano with Mayu, and she made the entire journey incredible. She shared so many stories about the area and Japan. What we appreciated most was her patience and flexibility. We took a lot of photos, and Mayu never rushed us; she gave us all the time we needed to capture the perfect shots. She was also incredibly attentive to everyone’s needs. When she realized we needed to pick up dinner, she proactively offered to stop along the way so we could get takeout, even though it meant she had to wait longer. She truly goes above and beyond for her guests. If you want a guide who is knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating, book with Mayu!
Mayu A.
Thank you so much for your review about the tour. I am very glad to hear you enjoyed the day. I did had a good time with you, too. I hope that Anon-san enjoyed the ski field. Sorry the weather might have been too warm. But the girls must have enjoyed the warm winter in Hokkaido. Matakiteneee. Please visit again. Take care.
