Welcome to Shizuoka in the central area of Japan. I was born in Hakone, Kanagawa Pref. and grew up in Izu Peninsula, also studied English at Kanagawa University in Yokohama. After graduation, I have traveled to a lot of countries such as Europe, U, S., Asia and lived in Australia for a year. I had a great time to visit there to have a wonderful experience.

I am Fumie Ueda, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in Atami, Shizuoka, only 50 minutes away from Tokyo by Shinkansen trains. Atami is conveniently located at the foot of the Hakone mountains, and the base of the Izu Peninsula. It is also close to Mt. Fuji and the Shimizu Port in Shizuoka. I am excited to show you around beautiful places that I love. I grew up in Yokohama, spent 1 year as a high school exchange student in Allentown, PA in the US, went to college and lived/worked in Tokyo for about 10 years before coming to this beautiful onsen resort. After becoming a guide, I met with guests from various backgrounds, and I feel grateful once again, for my experience to be exposed to different cultures in my youth. Let’s have a good time together!

“Shore excursion from Shimizu port”
Moto met us at the port as soon as we disembarked and we were quickly on our way. Our excursion included the Kobayashien Tea Firm - Tea ceremony experience, Shiraito Waterfalls, lunch at a very nice local area restaurant, the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Shrine and Mt. Fuji Heritage Center. We were very pleased with the selection of sites we visited and the information Moto provided at each of them. He is very knowledgeable and we found our time with him to be a very rewarding experience. THANKS, MOTO!

Motoyuki H.
Thanks for sending the review! It was a cloudy day and less visible of Mt. Fuji, but you could realize that there are many places worth seeing in the area. I appreciate your interest in and understanding of our culture. So happy to guide you again. Of course, with Mt. Fuji view next time!

“The best day!”
Moto, our guide and the beautiful large comfortable van for 6 he arranged for us, took us to the beautiful lake I requested, close to Mt Fuji. Moto told me about a waterfall nearby that was spectacular and then to a sake shop for tasting. Last but not least, a ride up the mountain to see the harbor and town night view. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Motoyuki H.
Thanks for the review and scoring! It was a beautiful day with the gorgeous view of Mt. Fuji. I felt very happy to see you were so energetic to enjoy the tour, even though it was the last port in your journey. Hope all the fortune will be coiled in your family!

Dear Ms. Katarina & Mr. Norm, Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed my tour. It was truly fortunate that Mount Fuji was so clearly visible. This experience provided me with valuable lessons in problem-solving. Please enjoy the rest of your cruise.
