A pleasant and memorable experience - Every moment is memorable with our tour guide Horiko-san who has a trove of knowledge to share. She’s friendly and professional answering all our questions clearly. Finding the tour company staff is instant from the moment we walked out of the cruise ship. The provided transport is very comfortable with a friendly and well mannered operator.

Fun rainy day in Shimizu! - Excellent tour of Shimizu! Our tour guide Motoko was very sweet and knowledgeable. They were also very prompt and organized. Even though it was a rainy day and we could not see Mount Fuji she made it very enjoyable. Saw a beautiful shrine and temple, a tea farm and the sacred pine forest near the beach. She made it fun for teens as well! Highly recommend!

Shimizu Port - Review for tour Our tour with Miyuki was so fun. Even with the weather not cooperating with our agenda to see Mt Fuji, Miyuki’s knowledge of the area and history of Shimizu, as well as her jokes and delightful personality made up for the mountain being hidden by the rain and clouds. Visiting the Kunozan Toshogu Shrine as well as the Woodcut Block Museum was a highlight. Thank you Hirokane, for being so accommodating and rebooking our tour after it was inadvertently canceled. Thank you for a wonderful day, Miyuki, you went above and beyond to see to our comfort and enjoyment.

An amazing Excursion and saw beautiful Mt Fuji - While in Shimizu port, we had a private for our tour that took us to a beautiful shrine and also a viewing area of Mount Fuji. The day was clear and we saw Mount Fuji. We were all very excited. In addition, we also visited a volcanic Beach and also took a gondola up a mountain, we were a group of eight from our cruise and we had a driver and a wonderful guide, Hiroko. Our guide was so wonderful, wonderful accommodating and very knowledgeable. She was able to tell us the history and the cultural information from each of the areas. This was a wonderful day as I said it was only four hours, but we were able to see some really beautiful sites we were able to shop around the port once our tour was over, I highly recommend booking this excursion. We were blessed with a beautiful tour guide on a clear and beautiful day and saw Mount Fuji throughout the day.
