Hello. I'm Mai, a national licensed tour guide in Sendai.

I can guide in Tohoku region around Sendai.

Please check my tours and you can also ask me personalized tours if you want to go places like

-Shiogama, Hiraizumi, Okama, Nikka whiskey factory, Jogisan.

(I don’t cover Ginzan onsen, Zao snow monster and fox village, i recommend to hire a taxi to go those places)

I think of myself as friendly, open minded and considerate.

I love talking so I’m happy to discuss any topics about japan or this region.

I want to help travelers discover attractiveness of this region and make their trip memorable!

I love traveling so I have visited many countries and I lived in India.

learning ideas and cultures of people from various countries have helped me to understand Japan deeply.

And I'm happy to share my knowledge and personal experiences with my guest.

I look forward to meeting you and hope we have enjoyable time together!!

“Wonderful Introduction to Sendai”

Mai is a terrific local guide. She communicated clearly, met us as scheduled and then became a friend over the next 3 hours. She shared her great knowledge and love of Sendai and we had a true sense of the city when we left. Mai also helped us navigate a pharmacy purchase and introduced us to some amazing food. We really enjoyed this tour and Sendai, and highly recommend Mai!

“Fantastic Tour Of Sendai!”

The walking tour Sendai with Mai was great - Mai planned a perfect course stopping off at some great spots around Sendai! I particularly enjoyed viewing the city from the free platform, walking through the shopping district, getting recommended some great Izakayas to visit. That was only part of the tour and Mai took me to some other great places as well. Along the way, Mai was very easy to talk to and im doing so every time I said what I looked forward to eating or seeing in Sendai, Mai would be able to offer a suggestion or tailor the tour slightly to show me. If you are looking after a tour guide in Sendai, Mai is an excellent choice! Thank you Mai for your tour!
