“Please Book with Mai!”
Mai was an amazing guide for the One Piece Kumamoto Tour! Her English was excellent, making everything easy to follow, and she kept the tour engaging with entertaining conversations and fun insights. Everything was well-organised, and she made sure the tour ran smoothly from start to finish. If you’re looking for a guide who is friendly, informative, and makes the experience truly enjoyable, Mai is the perfect choice!
“Great tour! (All 10 One Piece Statues)”
Our group of three had a great experience visiting all of the One Piece statues with Mai. Mai is a Kumamoto local so knows the area very well, and is very down to earth and a friendly tour giver. We learned a lot about the history of various areas, and also present day trivia (for example, about the sweet potato mascot in Zoro's area and how there is the country's only sweet potato vending machine at the rest stop where his figures are sold!) We mostly wanted to just take a few photos at each stop and then move on, but if we wanted to spend extra time to look around or buy food Mai never once rushed us. We all tried our first ever Kyushu-area ramen at a local mom-and-pop restaurant that Mai recommended - an excellent hidden gem away from your normal tourist areas. All-in-all the complete tour took about 8 hours including the stop for lunch so exactly within the time estimates given. I would 1000% recommend booking Mai for your next private tour. I know I definitely will if we're ever in the area again. Thank you Mai!
“The SUPER One Piece - All 10 Statues”
Our group did the 10 statues tour in one day, but it was beyond just the One Piece statues. Mai-san was punctual to pick us up at our hotel, and despite the full schedule didn't rush us at any of the locations whenever we wanted to spend a little more time taking photos or just appreciating the landscape. The car driving, when going to each statue, was also very comfortable. In each region, Mai-san taugh us about its tradition, culture and livestyle. It was an outstanding tour, and Mai-san was amazing in providing the most excellent tour throughout the Kumamoto region.
