Tour Guide

Mai Tanikawa

Konichiwa! I am Mai, one of the original creators for Bike Shinjuku Gems, and the first guide. Since 2018, I have been refining the tour so that it has the best hidden spots, cool histories, and fun photo options for each season! I also work as a guide for group tours that go all over Japan. Please ask me questions! I love to share my country with the world (good sides and bad sides haha).

-Born and raised in Japan (Yokohama!). I recently vacationed in Hokkaido and Okinawa.
-Cuban dancer, official staff at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics / Paralympics, Bodytuning® trainer, theatre actor.
-World traveler to over 50 countries. I can speak several languages and love different cultures. Ask me about my recent trip to the Galapagos!
