Tour Important Information

The above sample itinerary is a 7-hour tour to the NORTH-EAST of Shimizu (#1).

Other destinations are...

#2. Traveling to the WEST of Shimizu, with the Kunozan Toshogu Shrine as the main attraction, adding some other places in the vicinity (Observation Deck Yume-Terrace, a green tea farm, the tavern of Shimizu Jirocho and/or the Miho Pine Grove)

#3. Traveling NORTH-WEST to the central Shizuoka City, visiting Sumpu Castle Park, Sengen Shrine, green tea merchants and/or shopping in town.

View of Mt. Fuji is weather dependent. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

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!
