  Mai did a great job telling us about Matsushima, the beautiful landscapes and small islands in the area, and the spiritual elements. It was amazing views and great food, would go back!

  Main was an excellent tour guide. She customized to our needs and even found a store that sold used kimono jackets at a reasonable price. While the focus of the day was on Matsushima, she also included a stop at a seafood market in Shigoma. Also had a nice lunch in Matsushima. Highly recommended.

  Our day was a great experience. We left Sendai by train. Our guide Mai did a great job of showing us this town on the bay. We especially liked the Buddhist caves on a small island. They were carved out of solid rock on the island.

• Excellent tour with a lovely guide, Mai

  Great experience but just that people should know that the amount paid is only for the guide, everything else we need to pay for.

  Mai was amazing. We did a four day tour of Matsushima. We had several sessions of Zazen instruction with a Buddhist Monk, toured several places around Mastsushima and other near by cities.

• A real addition to the trip

  We had a fantastic day. Mia is a guide who will show you the most beautiful spots of Matsushima and knows local places to have a delicious lunch. We learned a lot about the area as well as Sendai. Highly recommended.

  Due to the really rainy weather forecast, our Japanese travel companion Mai suggested we adjust the tour program and visit the fish market in Shiogama instead. For us as lovers of seafood a great suggestion and we have really learned and learned a lot about local fishing. The subsequent visit to the Samiyabonden Shrine, located just outside and elevated, where we are instructed in the temple rituals from May, was also really worthwhile. Mai is a world-experienced and well-read conversation partner and the time on this tour passed far too quickly. We would have liked to have continued discussing with her for hours.

  Both the temples and the cruise were fascinating! And Mai took us to an amazing local restaurant. Matsushima was a wonderful place to visit, even on a hot day!

  This was an excellent private tour with local guide, Mai Honda. Her knowledge of the area and its history is outstanding. We learned a lot about the history of Matsushima including its famous samurai, Lord Date. She is also very flexible with the itinerary, customising and adapting it to suit the wishes of her clients. The tour from Sendai to Matsushima was well paced and smooth, aided by her expert knowledge of transportation and eating places. She knew which boat tour to take in order to avoid the crowds and which restaurant served the best sashimi and sake. We can say that this was the best tour by far we’ve had in Japan and also the best value. Highly recommended.
