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.

“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!

“Mai is a Joy”
Mai is a knowledgeable, delightful, considerate guide. She contacted us before our scheduled day to confirm. We then planned a meeting place inside the large hotel. She reconfirmed the places we wanted to visit, and shared the schedule. She mentioned that we might not have time for something, and if we wanted to alter anything. She also mentioned stairs in consideration for what would work for us. Everywhere we went Mai knew the history and background. We asked a lot of questions about history, botany, tradition, all of which she answered with knowledge and clarity. In order to accommodate our requests, we were about 30 or more minutes late in returning and yet the cost remained as agreed upon. Mai's English was excellent and understandable. She also sent a video that we discussed, after we were dropped off. (a traditional dance) We were very happy to have spent the day with her. Thank you.
