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.

Mai is a great tour guide who is friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. She considered our preferences and customised the tour to our liking. She takes great interest in explaining different aspects of the tour and kept us engaged through her various tours. We had a great time with her and recommend her! (:

I had such an AMAZING time on Mai’s Yamadera tour. She’s incredibly fun, friendly, vibrant and her passion, enthusiasm and expertise for all the fascinating aspects of Japanese history, culture and traditions is sooo marvelous to experience. Her unparalleled knowledge of Yamadera, hidden wonders only locals know about, train schedules, souvenir shops and the best local restaurants that best suit your preferences is truly extraordinary. Simply put Mai totally Rocks. Your trip with her will make you feel like you’re having a fabulous adventure with a dear friend, creating magical memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime :)
