Hi, I'm Mai.
I have several years of experience as a volunteer guide and I've lived in Finland for half a year.
Besides being a guide,I also study architecture as a hobby over the past several years.
That’s why I registered on this platform to create an original tour featuring architecture and latest trends for local.
Historical Japanese structures such as World Heritage is amazing, but
Japan has many wonderful contemporary structures like shrines and museums, which is designed by various architects.
I hope to show them with my tour.
I was born in Hokkaido and it's been about 10 years since I moved to Tokyo area.
I have always had a strong admiration for Tokyo, and have been exploring various attractive spots around the city.
That's why I'll not only guide you to the main tourist spots ,but also arrange unique experience according to your preference :)
=====
Traveling gives me a chance to get to know how other people live, their culture, and discovering new places . This is why I work as a guide, my goal is to give guests a real "local experience"--like what I've experienced on my travels so far.
Don't worry if you are not good at English.
Unfortunately, I can only speak Japanese and English, but I will do my best to make your tour as satisfying as possible using gestures and various other ideas.
Hope to see you soon!
“Shinjuku n Shibuya tour”
Mai San our guide was very nice and accommodating. She took us to where we wanted to go and to places where she thought we would enjoy. We were able to experience riding the subway. Our lunch and afternoon snacks were very good too.

It was really nice meeting you three yesterday. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. I definitely recommend visiting Japan again in the spring. I hope I can travel to Mt. Fuji and other places with you guys again someday!
“Mai is a wonderful person!”
So, I messed our tour up by spraining my ankle. My husband and I were trying to make it to our meet up but my ankle was getting to the point where walking was getting impossible. Mai went out of her way to come get us, help us get a taxi back to the hotel and even into and up to the room. She then went even further out of her way to obtain for us some Totoro Cream Puffs and some seashell Hina dolls which will be treasured! I cannot strongly recommend Mai enough.
Mai N.
Thank you so much for your review! I was really looking forward to exploring Tokyo together but it can’t be helped. The most priority thing is that you get better ASAP! I hope the Puffs and Hina dolls make you feel like you're exploring Tokyo with me, even just a little. It was really nice to meeting you!I hope to see you again someday.

“Nice, relaxing walking tour!”
I recently had the pleasure of taking a walking tour of Yokohama with Mai as my guide, and it was an excellent experience. Mai was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating throughout the tour. She offered helpful insights on what to do and frequently checked in with me about which routes to take, ensuring I had the best experience possible. Mai also provided fantastic recommendations for places to visit after the tour, which added even more value to my time in Yokohama. The tour itself was very relaxing, and I especially enjoyed sampling some delicious pastries along the way. Additionally, I got to enjoy some amazing Chinese food from Chinatown, which was a delightful part of the tour. Overall, Mai's expertise and friendly demeanor made this tour a memorable highlight of my trip. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much! I'm really impressed with your specific and positive review. It reminds me of all the places we visited and all the fun we had together. Despite the unusual heat for this time of year, I am glad that you enjoyed the long walks during the tour, which allowed me to introduce various aspects of Yokohama. Have fun your rest stay in Japan! ありがとう!
