Other destinations are...

Please let me know in advance your areas of interest and how much you wish to walk during your excursion. It will help me plan your itinerary better.
It is expensive, but chartering a car allows you to spend more time at each spot, or visit 1 more place, and it is more comfortable, of course. Public transportation is punctual in Japan, but not be frequent outside of major cities, including the areas around Shimizu. Please ask your guide for detail.

About Tour Guide Fumie U.
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!

“Day with Fumie”
Our family of eight had a great time touring with Fumie. The tour was a mixture of fantastic sites and opportunities to learn. Fumie made it special for each of us ranging in ages from 79 to 14. Thank you Fumie for a wonderful day!!

Thank you for using my service on your special family trip to Japan! You should be proud to have such a wonderful family. And yes, we had a great time together. The owner couple of the tea farm was very nice and you probably discovered beautiful nature and history of Japan. I hope you will come back to our country in the near future. Thank you!

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!

“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.
