Shizuoka Private Tours

“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

“Tea and Handicraft”

Had a wonderful time with Hiroyo on this wonderful, relaxing and meaningful tour! If you love tea and making things, this is the perfect tour. Hiroyo is a warm, very personable and patient guide who looks after you well. Shizuoka is lovely, not overcrowded with tourists and offer an authentic Japanese experience that is unique to this region with the occasional nice views of Mt Fuji even! This tour and Hiroyo is highly recommended. Thank you for looking after us, Hiroyo!

“Mt Fuji and a great lunch”

We booked a Celebrity cruise around Japan. To avoid the large, impersonal tours offered by the cruise line we decided to book a private tour in Shimizu (Mt. Fuji). Macy we excellent. He met us at the cruise terminal and showed us how to navigate Japanese public transportation and visit some memorable sites. At Mino no Matsubara we got to see Mt Fuji out of the clouds! We toured several other sites including Sumpu Castle. A highlight was lunch at a historic stop on the Tokaido Road. He sent us an itinerary before our trip and took our suggestions on sites we wanted to see. Unfortunately the ropeway at Nihondaira was closed for repair. We highly recommend him – he speaks very good English and is extremely knowledgeable about Japanese history.
