About Tour Guide Mai N.
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!

Walking tour around the Shibuya and Harajuku
Western Tokyo is an area overflowing with creative talent among young people. With me, you'll be able to visit restaurants and shops that only locals know, experience public transportation just like a local, and discover new facts about Tokyo which aren't written in guide books! Of course, you can select any places you like other than those listed. The following is an example and can be changed flexibly. -The meeting time -Duration of stay
