About Tour Guide Akemi U.

Hi there. My name is Akemi. Please call me Kimi. I am a local guide of Sendai, Miyagi in northern part of Japan,Tohoku. I have spent many years living overseas including the US, Germany and Australia which helped me understand different cultures and expectations of international travelers. Because of this experience, I feel comfortable communicating with any guests from various countries. I especially enjoy introducing Japanese history, traditions and local cultures, especially Tohoku, northern part of Japan.Tohoku offers beautiful scenery, interesting culture and great food. I am very easygoing and friendly and will make you feel comfortable during your stay in Japan. Looking forward to seeing you.

Reviews

History of Masamune Date and Great Experiences

Akemi was fantastic and the tour is perfect for those who want to learn the history of Sendai while getting in on the shopping and food of the area while still having some time in the morning to do things. She showed me a number of restaurants to fill my trip and also showed me some local specialties which made the experience the best deal in town. Thank You, Akemi!

Thank you so much for taking your time to write this wonderful review. I really enjoyed a company with you. Please come back again and I will show you around how beautiful Tohoku is.

A Fantastic Guide for a Local Experience

Akemi was a wonderful guide. She was always making sure the experience was tailored to suit my preferences for history and local experiences and was very knowledgeable about the Miyagi prefecture's specialties and local history and beyond. There were many times she would assist me in locating things beyond the tour to make my experience of the Tohoku region as easy and filled with experiences as possible. I look forward to coming back, and I strongly encourage others to book her tours! Thank You Akemi!

Thank you so much for joining me. Please let me know if you are coming back to Tohoku. I can take you not just in Miyagi and all Tohoku area. The tour can be customized based on your request. Take care and enjoy the rest of stay.

Beautiful Matsushima a must see

We highly recommend Akemi for a guided tour. Matsushima was the second tour we took with her, and she consistently goes above and beyond for her guests. Akemi is not only highly knowledgeable about the area, but she is also exceptionally helpful. She took the time to assist us with our Shinkansen tickets back to Tokyo and helped us plan our route onward to Yamanashi, which we greatly appreciated. The tour itself was excellent. We took a boat tour of the bay, where we learned about the local oyster and seaweed farms. We walked around the picturesque Matsushima, taking stunning photos, and had a wonderful lunch at a restaurant with beautiful views of the ocean and town, where we tasted the famous local oysters. After lunch, we toured two of the temples. Akemi suggested we stay for the temple’s night illumination, and we were glad we followed her advice. Before departing, she also provided us with clear directions for our return to Sendai. We highly recommend booking a tour with Akemi. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and kind.
