“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.
“Excellent short bar trips”
I had this bar trip after the Matsushima day. It was excellent. We first went to an nice bar where they had good food and very nice Sake. After that we went to a good beer bar. Had good food, talks and laughs. Thank you Mai.
“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.
