Reviews
“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.
“Outstanding Customized Tour -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
Mai provide an outstanding customized tour of Aso National Park, including a hike, and a journey through the countryside that included a lunch stop in a historic restaurant that has been around since the Meji Restoration period -- plus a visit to a mountain shrine and a sake brewery. She also worked with me in advance to plan for this itinerary. She provides an outstanding tour and is also a great conversationalist, and I highly recommend her as one of the best tour guides in Japan.
