“An Epic One Piece Adventures”
We had an absolutely fantastic day exploring Kumamoto with Mai as our guide, hunting down all 10 Straw Hat Pirates statues! Her energy, knowledge, and passion for both One Piece and the local history made the experience truly unforgettable. From Luffy in Kumamoto City to Jinbe in Uto, Mai expertly guided us through the journey, sharing fun facts about each character and their connection to Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece and a Kumamoto native. She also explained the significance of these statues in the region’s earthquake recovery efforts, making the adventure feel even more meaningful. Mai knew the best routes, hidden gems along the way, and the perfect spots for photos. Her enthusiasm was contagious, making each stop feel like discovering a treasure. Whether you’re a lifelong One Piece fan or just love exploring unique landmarks, this experience with Mai is an absolute must! Thank you, Mai, for an unforgettable adventure—we couldn’t have done it without you!

“Amazing Tour!”
Mai’s tour was a great experience, she was very kind and informative. Would highly recommend this tour experience if you are a fan of One Piece. It was also nice to experience the more quiet and serene parts of rural Japan as a contrast to the very busy city centers. Check Mai’s tour out!
