Welcome to Shizuoka in the central area of Japan.
I was born in Hakone, Kanagawa Pref. and grew up in Izu Peninsula, also studied English at Kanagawa University in Yokohama.
After graduation, I have traveled to a lot of countries such as Europe, U, S., Asia and lived in Australia for a year. I had a great time to visit there to have a wonderful experience.
So I decided to become a licensed tour guide for introducing Japan to foreign tourists.
Now I live in Izu which is close to Mt.Fuji and Hakone.
I'm interested in Arts, Hot Springs, traditional places and of course delicious food.
I would like to introduce beautiful Izu which has lots of Geopark sites and traditional Hot spring resort "Shuzenji, Nagaoka, and so on.
Please Enjoy this area together!!

“Shimizu Port Tour with Yasuko – A Memorable Day in Mt. Fuji’s Shadow”
We had a private van tour arranged at Shimizu Port with Yasuko as our guide. Although Mt. Fuji remained hidden behind clouds, the experience was unforgettable. Yasuko was incredibly knowledgeable and shared rich cultural and historical insights throughout the day. Our stops included the stunning Shiraito Waterfall, a peaceful visit to Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, and the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center, where we learned more about the sacred mountain’s significance. We enjoyed a flavorful local lunch of Fujinomiya yakisoba (fried noodles), and later relaxed with an excellent coffee break at Fuji Coffee Roasters. Yasuko’s authenticity, warmth, and attention to detail made this tour truly special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

Thank you so much for an excellent review, LInda san. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my tour, even though we couldn't see Mt.Fuji clearly. I appreciate you and your friends for the tour going very smoothly. Finally, you could see a view of Mt.Fuji at the port. What a relief.

“The Most Wonderful Day”
Yasuko met our group of five at the cruise ship port for a day around Mt. Fuji. We took local trains and taxis, and we visited a tea plantation, some beautiful waterfalls, and had delicious fried noodles. The whole time Mt. Fuji was sitting in front of us. Yasuko was kind and funny, and we all agreed it was a wonderful day. Thank you so much Yasuko!
