About Tour Guide Mayu A.
Hi, I am Mayu. I can speak English and Spanish (for guiding my Spanish needs to be polished. But I can communicate). I have had experiences as a tour leader for groups of Japanese tourists to foreign countries and foreign tourists in Japan, Tokyo, Osaka. Kyoto, Hiroshima, Kanazawa and many other cities.
I live in Hokkaido. My tours are around my city, Asahikawa. But I can customize your plan and take you around Japan. (Please let me know 2 weeks before your plan.) Even if my days are not available on my calendar, I could arrange them for you. So please ask me for availability.(I am not available from Sep. 17 to Nov. 4 )
I like hiking and cycling. If you are interested in those things, I will make a plan for you.
I am looking forward to showing you around Japan.

Reviews
“Thank you for showing us Asahikawa!”
I want to recommend Mayu sensei to anyone who wishes to visit Asahikawa, Furano, and Biei. Mayu sensei is an absolutely fantastic guide. She drives safely in the snow, treats us with kindness, and planned a fantastic itinerary for us. In the end, we took up more time than we had initially agreed because we were traveling with a toddler, but she was so considerate to us. Apart from the beautiful scenes we enjoyed, my family felt like we made a new friend today. We will find Mayu again the next time, and we strongly recommend her.

Thank you for your nice words. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed today. It was so nice to have such a happy family like you. I wish I could get to talk to you more. But I had to concentrate on driving. Please keep yourself warm and enjoy the rest of your holiday in Hokkaido.

I am a licensed tour guide in Hokkaido. I have been working as a guide for about 10 years. I can work in Sapporo, and whole area of Hokkaido. Right now I live in Sapporo ,capital city of Hokkaido. Sapporo is the fifth largest city in Japan with 1. 9 million people. But if you drive one hour or so, you are in the middle of rural area surrounded by mountains and the lakes. So if you come to Hokkaido, it is guaranteed to enjoy urban sightseeing spots and food, at the same time, to enjoy soaking in the amazingly beautiful nature. I can provide you a basic tour, also a customized tour depending on the seasons. Let me help you to create memorable tours that you would cherish for a long time.
