“Goes above & beyond”
Akemi guided us for two tours out of Sendai and was a great help arranging one of those to accommodate our schedule. She also helped us with options for getting ourselves to other activities around Sendai. She made everything smooth for us and the tours enjoyable. Her English is very good as well

“Highly recommend!”
Akemi was an amazing tour guide. We booked her for a Matsushima day trip. I have an eye disease and use a cane and had my 11 year old son with me. She was very accommodating and made sure I was ok with walking at her pace and taking stairs. She was able to personalize the tour for us. She was very kind and informational about our stops we had. We learned a lot on this trip! She even took some photos of us. As a mom I'm usually the one taking photos so it was nice to be in the photos this time. My son is a picky eater but she got him to try some fish for lunch. She was so patient and understanding with him. I would highly recommend Akemi!

Hello! I'm Eiji, your local guide in Sendai. Looking to venture beyond Tokyo and discover a different side of Japan? Come to Sendai! Just a quick 90-minute bullet train ride from Tokyo, Sendai awaits – a vibrant government-designated city rich in unique culture and surrounded by stunning nature. Born in Taipei and having spent my formative years in Tokyo and pursuing a master's degree in California, my international background has given me a deep appreciation for diverse cultures. After living in Malaysia with my family for seven years, we settled in Sendai in 2024. During the time in Malaysia, I traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia. These experiences have shaped my passion for travel and allow me to offer you a truly unique, traveler-focused experience. Let me show you the hidden gems of this fantastic city!
