About Tour Guide Mayumi A.

I am Mayumi, SETOUCHI lover and a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter for English-speaking guests.

I left busy Tokyo where I had lived for many years and moved to this calm city Okayama recently in order to change my way of living in my mid fifties. Before settling down here I spent some months like a traveler and found much comfort and amenity of this region. I came to wish to share such value with others.That is why I started a second job as a private tour guide. Honestly speaking, I am not experienced guide, yet I would like to make every effort  to satisfy your requests and make your stay happier.

Okayama is one of the most attractive cities in Western Japan. It is known for Kouraku-en which is one of the three most scenic landscape gardens in Japan.

Okayama has a mild climate and is famous for fruit production such as white peach and grapes.You must love them.

Also the location of Okayama is wonderful, it faces the Seto Inland Sea.You can enjoy idyllic scenery and a lot of outdoor activities are possible.

If you are interested in slow life or inner peace,it is your destination.

I would like to offer you very special opportunities to deepen your experience in Western Japan. Please visit Okayama and let me guide you.

◆My guidable area : SETOUCHI-islands, Setouchi Art Trienale 2019, Benesse Art Site, Okayama and Kagawa

◆Personal life : I am a working mother. I am fond of walks, cycling, skiing and traveling. At home, I enjoy cooking and gardening.

A well-managed day in Naoshima

We are very grateful to Mayumi-san for her service during our day at Naoshima. Mayumi-san picked us up from our hotel, pre-purchased the necessary entry tickets, guided us to and around Naoshima, selected places to have morning tea and lunch, and kept us informed about the history of the island and the art installations. Maybe we could have done it ourselves, but the museums have timed entry, so you would need to be well versed on the operating schedules of the island buses to squeeze as much into a single day. She was wonderful, good English, knowledgeable, well-organised, easy pace.

Dear Dean-san, Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful post. I imagine you must now be feeling relaxed and at ease, back in the comfort of your familiar home. How was your third trip to Japan? You and your wife have such a deep understanding of and affection for Japanese culture and traditions, and I was truly impressed by that. Although the weather wasn’t perfect, you managed to enjoy even that with your sense of humor and wit. The tour with you both was fulfilling and truly enjoyable. Transportation to the remote islands can be fragile, and it often requires flexibility. When time is limited, careful planning becomes essential. This time, we visited only one island, but if you ever return to the Seto Inland Sea, I would be delighted to guide you to other islands as well. I was truly happy to have spent such a special day together with you. I sincerely hope to see you both again someday. Best wishes, Mayumi

Captivating Naoshima

My husband and I worked closely with Mayumi to plan our itinerary. Her expertise on the museums, artists and art work and her knowledge of the practical details of our trip led to a smooth yet flexible tour of the islands. Mayumi was always responsive in our communications. She left a detailed plan of our itinerary at the hotel. She took care of arranging transportation and museum tickets. Together with her stories of the islands' history we had a comprehensive overview of the "art islands." I highly recommend her services. I also want to acknowledge Go with Guide for the process of selecting and listing guides. Mayumi was one of three guides who took us around different part of Japan. All of them were excellent.

Dear Elena-san, I am very happy for your review. How was your trip to Japan with your husband? Did you fully enjoy your stay? I am sure you had a meaningful trip filled with intellectual curiosity and a sense of adventure. I recall how you and your husband were full of vitality and enjoyed the cross-cultural experience so vividly. I am grateful that you have not been deterred by the inconvenience of maritime transportation to visit Art Islands, and that you deeply appreciate its uniqueness and significance. It is my hope that you will return to explore other parts of Japan and enjoy its history and different cultures. I hope to see you and your family again someday. Best wishes, Mayumi
