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. So I decided to become a licensed tour guide for introducing Japan to foreign tourists. Now I live in Izu which is close to Mt.Fuji and Hakone. I'm interested in Arts, Hot Springs, traditional places and of course delicious food. I would like to introduce beautiful Izu which has lots of Geopark sites and traditional Hot spring resort "Shuzenji, Nagaoka, and so on. Please Enjoy this area together!! Bienvenidos

I used to teach English at a high school and now provide guide service to English speaking people as a freelancer during weekends and holidays. I’m confident in fluency in English and have guided more than 70 tours last year in Tokyo, Yokohama, Hakone, Kamakura, Mt. Fuji region, and my local city Shizuoka (Shimizu). I can guide other places such as Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Kanazawa, Takayama, and other places if guests want to.

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!

Mt. Fuji can be seen from Tokyo, but if you feel the real size and its atmosphere as well as the value, you should definitely visit this area. I am mainly guiding for the cruise ship passengers for shore excursion, but it is possible to pick you up at a JR station (Shizuoka and Shin-Fuji).

“Takagawa Shrine and Museum, Strawberries, and Fish Market”
We had a beautiful day with Sayori. She is fluent in English and a delight to spend time with and eager to share her culture. She is also super flexible on making sure you see the best of the region. While the majestic Mt. Fuji is awe-inspiring, even if you only get a glimpse through the clouds, a not to miss is the Tokugawa Shrine and museum, honoring the first Shogun of Japan. For a moment in time, you step into a world unimaginable. It is a peaceful walk with many steps through history. We enjoyed our descent 1,000 steps on an ancient path to the strawberry farms below, where we were able to pick and savor some of the most delicious strawberries in the world. From there, we made our way to the newly renovated Shimizu fish market and had the most delicious lunch of tempura shrimp and vegetables, and the best and freshest sushi tuna. Sayori was so attentive to our wishes and made perfect arrangements for us. We highly recommend her.
Sayori H.
Thank you for coming to Shimizu, Cyndy san I appreciate your sweet comment about my tour. It was very nice to meet you both and show you around. I hope I didn't make you two too tired going down the stairs. I cherish the lovely talk we had at the Toshogu shrine. Thank you again for coming to Japan. Sayori

It really was a beautiful day! In Japan, there is a saying, "if there are ten people, they are in ten different colors," meaning all people have different tastes and characteristics. I hope I was able to entertain your group to suite your tastes. It wasvery nice meeting you!
