Hello! I am Maki, an English speaking guide living in Yamagata. I was born and raised here. Hiking and skiing are my passion, and I enjoy beautiful local mountains all year round. Yamagata is a fascinating place full of the blessings of nature, history and tradition, delicious food and sake, and the warmth of local people. Here endures the best of old Japan and Japanese spiritual culture. I will help you discover it and ensure you have a memorable experience. I am looking forward to welcoming you and showing you around my favorite places.
