Hi there. My name is Akemi and call me Kimmie. I am a local guide of Sendai, Miyagi and new to this site. However, I’ve been providing guide services more than 2 years. I spent over 25 years abroad, including Australia, the US and Germany and came back to Japan in 2020. I would love to share how beautiful Tohoku, northern part of Japan. Tohoku boasts beautiful nature, great food and interesting culture. I will make your ordinary trip to extraordinary. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

“The most fun I've had in japan”
I was taken to a few isakaya bars by Akemi and I had so much fun. She actually was a lot of fun and planned out everything as requested. Akemi was nice to talk to and was entertaining from talking about her past travels to just comparing life experiences. I would recommend Akemi as a guide to make the most of your time while traveling. Seeing japan with the guide actually got me to see new experiences I may not have been able to see

“Unforgettable Matsushima Tour”
We had a fantastic day trip to Matsushima from Tokyo with Akemi. She took us to places unlike anything we’d seen before and tailored the tour to fit the time we had there. Having lived in the United States, she speaks fluent English, which made communication seamless. Her laid-back personality made the experience relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. My sixteen-year-old even enjoyed talking with Akemi, which is an accomplishment in itself. Matsushima is well worth the trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. We did several private day tours during our stay, and our tour with Akemi was by far our favorite. If we had more time in Japan, we would have loved to book another tour with her to explore the sights of Sendai as well. Thank you, Akemi!

“Great tour of some of the highlights in Sendai”
Akemi was very knowledgeable about the history of Sendai Castle and Zuihoden--I learned a lot about the city's past and about Date Masamune and some of his successors. I also got a lot of great tips on places to go in town, places to eat, local specialties, and so on. Also, Akemi was great company and fun to chat with--highly recommended!
