“Wholeheartedly Recommended”
Mayu was an exceptional guide who provided the perfect introduction to Asahikawa for our family. Her warm, friendly personality made her a delightful companion throughout our entire day together. What truly set Mayu apart was her attentiveness to our preferences and her willingness to go above and beyond. She thoughtfully tailored our itinerary to match our interests and provided invaluable assistance, including spontaneous translation during our cheese-making course when we needed it most! As a well-traveled individual herself, Mayu brought wonderful insights and engaging conversation that enriched our experience beyond just the sightseeing. Her knowledge and perspective added depth to our understanding of the local culture. We wholeheartedly recommend Mayu to anyone visiting Asahikawa and hope to have the opportunity to explore with her again on a future visit.

Thank you so much for your great coment about the tour. I enjoyed talking with you all and learned about Australia. You came to this area at the best time. Now it is soo hot. Since you love Hokkaido, if you get a chance to come to Hokkaido, please let me know. I will invite you to dinner at my house.

“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++++++++++++++++++

“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.
$89/ per group
