Great Tour of Sendai's Key Sights - Riko provided us with a lovely tour of Sendai. She was knowledgeable about her city and made us feel very welcome. We got to see all of the best sights and learned a lot about Sendai and Japan more broadly. We greatly appreciated how she answered our questions, and she also gave us a terrific recommendation where to have lunch.

Great experience! - We were able to enjoy our trip around Matsushima Bay with Koh-san. We took a boat tour and went to Zuiganji temple. Both experiences were exciting and we were able to have great discussions with Koh-san. We would love to go back again!

Too many places to visit in a half day tour. - I requested an audacious plan of visiting four places in Sendai as a half day tour. It was probably my mistake to ask that plan. The visit in Matsushima and Zuiganji was too short. Visits to Aobajo and Tagajo were ok, but we needed to truncate the visit to Zuihouden. The guide did his best to accommodate my request.

Shrines and Temples - Enjoyed the shrine and temple the most. Riko was very pleasant and worked hard to get us around in a short time. Could have used a bit more Japanese life facts, ie: cultural, life style etc. we like to learn about the country we are visiting
