“ Morning with Nani in Sendai ”

I had a wonderful tour of 3 hours plus with Mai in Sendai, her hometown. Mai spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable about local landmarks, the major religions and local history. She is a lovely person and I enjoyed getting to know her. After the tour I contacted her and asked for restaurant recommendations in Yamagata and she texted me some wonderful options. I would highly recommend Mai for any tours in the area.

“ Masako is outstanding! ”

We booked a two day tour of Tokyo with Masako and she is an excellent guide. Unfortunately I fell ill and missed the first afternoon and next day but my travel companion completed the whole tour with her and had an amazing time. Masako packed each day with a variety of adventures and really gave us our money’s worth. She is very knowledgeable and has excellent English skills. When I fell ill on the tour she was very concerned and readily offered to help me seek medical attention. We strongly recommend booking with Masako for her excellence in guiding, the high value of the experience for the reasonable cost, and her absolute kindness and desire to help you enjoy your visit.

Masako N.

Dear Mandy, Thank you very much for your kind comment. I really appreciate it. It was sad we were not able to fnish the tour together, but It happens especially in foreign countries with different environments and time difference. I was impressed you are warmhearted and considerate. And you are sensible even when you do not feel well. And also, I would like to thank your friend. I'm glad to hear she enjoyed the tour. Unluckily, a typhoon was coming on the two days. It was hot and humid with heavy rain sometimes. In addition, we walked around a lot. Even so, she was patient and cooperative. It helped me a lot to operate the tour. Please convey my gratitude to her. I really hope you recover soon and enjoy your cruise tour and sometime in the future, not- too-distant future, come back to Tokyo and tour together again. Best regards, Masako
