“A Wonderful and Unforgettable Tour with Mai!”
Mai is such a kind and knowledgeable guide, making the walking tour in Sendai; also Yamadera trip and Matsushima trip truly special! Her warm personality and insightful stories brought every place to life. Climbing Yamadera felt like a peaceful adventure, and the breathtaking beauty of Matsushima was unforgettable. Mai’s storytelling and local insights added so much depth to the journey! Also, Mai kindly helped us with careful planning due to the weather conditions, advised amazing local cuisine (truly hidden gems) and we enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend for an exceptional and unique experience!
