Trip was Beautiful and nice

Mai recommended me to leave earlier as there weather would go bad later in the afternoon. She was right. And we departed earlier. Had an Excellent day in beautiful Yamadera. After visiting the complex we had a nice diner at a local restaurant. Excellent tip and food. Great company and knowledge of Mai H.

Matsushima private Tour

Miyagi

Had so much fun !

I had booked this tour with Mai H. For me the trip felt like being together with a friend. Of course Mai is an Excellent guide but not a moment did I feel I was being 'guided' in the traditional sense. She provides information but nothing feels rushed or artificial. So I really felt I had nice company and could fall back on her excellent knowledge of the region. Thanks Mai for the fun day.

Yamadera is a holy temple complex on the mountain known for its beautiful mountain view. But there are more places to see if you like hiking and hidden places. I can take you to a special shrine in the mountain that many tourists don't know and a hiking course with beautiful views just for you! and if you love hiking and nature, there is a more longer course starts from next station from Yamadera. If you want to do it, Please message me. I can arrange it for you.
