“Fascinating and fun a zone dyeing and beautiful Mt Fuji onsen”

Yumiko is a wonderful guide. Her English is very good and we were able to ask many questions of the indigo master with her help. The onsen she selected was beautiful and we had an incredible view of Mt. Fuji. She was a pleasure to be with and took us to a delicious sushi restaurant as well. I highly recommend this tour.

I sincerely appreciate your kind review of my tour. I am in the process of uploading some photos to my web page. To A., Thank you so much for joining my tour. You all are friendly and full of curiosity. Please enjoy the rest of your trip! To E., It was a pleasure talking with you. You look good in navy blue. Have a wonderful trip! To S., I started watching the animation “Kusuriya no hitorigoto” again on the website. The story is getting more interesting. Thank you! I wish you all the best in Japan.

“Sayori was fantastic! So much fun”

Sayori helped us plan a personalised tour. I believe the cost was very reasonable too. We (my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and I) visited a local spot in the countryside where we had a beautiful tea ceremony. Sayori is the type of person who is genuinely interested in people and learning about you and hearing your stories. Sayori made us feel so welcomed and we are so grateful to Sayori for this authentic experience.

Thank you for your lovely comment, Ella san. It was so nice to meet all of you. The weather was perfect, experiencing and learning about the tea ceremony at Gyokuro no Sato was such a great memory. Sitting in the small tatami room chatting with ladies was very special. Although it was such a short time, thank you for letting me be your guide. I hope you made it back no problem. Thank you Sayori

“Tea and Views”

This is our second tour with Hiroyo, and truly enjoyed this in a different way! Hiroyo is highly knowledgeable on everything about Japanese tea, so if you love tea she is the perfect guide. Understanding the different tea varieties, seeing the tea farm and consuming tea from farm to cup is genuinely a beautiful experience. If you have not seen Mt Fuji from the Shizuoka side, Nihondaira is the place! Lovely tour with tea, sacred space with immense significance to Japan and breathtaking views. Thank you Hiroyo!

Thank you so much for another day tour here in Shizuoka! There are many attractions here and it is always my great pleasure to welcome you. Shizuoka is a must visit for tea lovers and for a great fan of Shogun as well! A view of Mt. Fuji was perfect during your stay in the beginning of December. If you have another opportunity to visit here, I’ll offer you a different nice experience! Thank you again and best wishes, Hiroyo
