“Yamadera and More”

Mai was a wonderful guide, Yamadera was about as beautiful as I could've imagined and Mai was a huge part of that experience. Her knowledge of the area as well as her experience with the hiking trails around Yamadera made the tour one-of-a kind in the best way possible. For those who are looking to get into nature the area, I would strongly recommend Mai for the best experience possible. Thank you, Mai!

“Wonderful Introduction to Sendai”

Mai is a terrific local guide. She communicated clearly, met us as scheduled and then became a friend over the next 3 hours. She shared her great knowledge and love of Sendai and we had a true sense of the city when we left. Mai also helped us navigate a pharmacy purchase and introduced us to some amazing food. We really enjoyed this tour and Sendai, and highly recommend Mai!
