We will visit two tea facilities located in this area. You can enjoy the experience of tea ceremony and other hands-on activities.

Set in the Asagiri Highlands at the western foot of Mt. Fuji, this small-group taxi tour is a rather unorthodox one. The theme of this tour is "Challenge and Experience," with opportunities for you to actually participate in various activities.
Kakegawa Historical Walking Tour
Kakegawa is a middle-size city famous for its castle and its green tea production. As the city is located at almost the mid-point between Tokyo and Osaka, I hope that, during your Japan tour, you will get off a bullet train (shinkansen) here at Kakegawa Station and enjoy a short walking tour featuring the attractiveness of this region.

Atami Tour Customized for You!
“Best Tour Guide Ever!”
I had the pleasure of booking a tour with Fumie during our visit to Ito and Atami in Japan, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From the start, Fumie took the time to ask all the right questions to tailor the tour to our specific needs and interests. Her communication was prompt and clear, making it easy to finalize all the details of our itinerary. Fumie was incredibly organized and well-prepared, providing us with useful flyers and brochures about the places we would visit. Her extensive knowledge of the area added so much depth to the experience, and she was thorough in sharing interesting facts and history with us. Her English skills were excellent, ensuring we never had any language barriers. What impressed me the most was how she seamlessly adapted when our plans changed. Despite the shift, Fumie handled it effortlessly, ensuring the tour continued smoothly and without any disruption—almost as if the change was part of the original plan. In addition to the tour, Fumie also provided professional interpreter services during our business meetings with other companies, and her support in that area was invaluable. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, flexible, and highly professional guide and interpreter, I wholeheartedly recommend Fumie. She made our experience unforgettable, and I will certainly book her again for future tours and interpretation services.
Fumie U.
Hi Taryn san, Thank you so much for taking your time to write such a great review. You must be very busy. I feel flattered by the praise, and it was my pleasure to be a part of your productive tour this time. I look forward to seeing you again in the near future! Fumie

Customized tour to Wasabi field

“Even a professional like me has been stunned!!!!!”
I am a professional chef and a food journal writer, obviously, all the normal trips will not interested me at all. This wasabi field trip with Ms. Yasuko was an extraordinary one as we had a chance to see the process of how the wasabi was cleaned, prepared and packed. I was impressed. The wasabi farms were also gorgeous to see!
Yasuko Y.
Thank you so much for an excellent review. I'm glad to hear that you could enjoy visiting Wasabi field and farm in Izu. Also, I appreciate being able to introduce to you IKADABA in Izu City.
“Stunning north/central Izu! ”
We went on a half-day, guided tour of north/central Izu and can honestly say it was an amazing tour! Yasuko-san was a terrific guide who provided a very appealing itinerary that included, among other things, a tour of waterfalls and wasabi fields. She communicated with us on a regular basis leading up to the tour and readily accommodated us based on our interests and time constraints. She met us promptly at the train station on the day of the tour and assisted us in securing a chartered taxi ahead of time. Yasuko-san and the driver took us to outstanding and remote points of interest that we would’ve never discovered on our own. The Izu region is simply beautiful with an abundance of nature, charm, and history. Bottom line, we highly recommend hiring Yasuko-san as a guide. She was warm, personable, and very professional. Moreover, we highly recommend going with this company as they helped resolve an initial problem with another guide and subsequently referred us to Yasuko-san.
Yasuko Y.
Thank you so much for an excellent review. I'm happy to hear you had a great time on my tour. There were few tourists on the contrary it rained, we could see more water from the waterfalls, too. I agree that our driver offered really good service, so I'll recommend other guides to use that. Thank you so much end enjoy the rest of your stay in Japan.
