“What a great day in Shimizu”
If you are on a cruise ship that stops in Shimizu don’t hesitate to book a tour with Yasuko. Communication was excellent before and during the tour. The info we were given during the day was very informative and not too much. During the day Yasuka let us know if we were ahead of schedule or if we were behind schedule and managed our time perfectly with adjustments where necessary. If we ever get back here I know who I will be booking for another tour. Thank you Yasuko for making our day special.

“Excellent ”
We got to see more things than the excursion from the cruise. Yasuko was informative and pleasant with a good command of English. We enjoyed our tour and recommend her services. She was on time, organized and had good communication leading up to the booking. We would book with her again.
