Day trip from Shimizu port to explore Shizuoka by a private car
Arriving at Shimizu port by cruise, and if you have some time to explore before you get back, I can show you the area to make your visit more enjoyable. I can arrange an itinerary by listening to what you desire to do. If you have seen enough shrines and temples, we can avoid it, if you want to try green tea picking or strawberry picking, we can arrange it as well (if it's in season). I will personally drive the tour to keep the price low.

Shimizu Tour Reviews
“attempted robbery or extortion”
The tour began and at first he tried to get us to get off at a bathroom where it was devastated and we didn't let him. When we arrived at the first stop, two people approached asking for an explanation because we were driving with our cell phone, which was a lie, there we entered a bathroom. and they followed us, they insisted that we had to accompany them to an office which we did not accept and when we returned to where the car was, a group of 7 people were already waiting for us asking for our passports, of course we did not give them, and they were getting angry. aggressive at the end they took photos of us and a passport and let us go, we no longer wanted to continue with the tour and we speeded up to return, very bad experience

(3 reviews)Dear Salomon san First of all, I'd like to sincerely apologize for how Japanese police made you feel uncomfortable asking questions during the tour. I believe there were some language problems, misunderstanding, not being able to comprehend the difference in cultures and customs and lack of explanation led to such aggressive behavior for both sides. I learned later that on that day, a large number of undercover police were investigating illegal drivers. They needed to ask some questions to the customers directly as well as the driver. They also needed to see the customer's passport for their record and nothing more than that. At the end, more police gathered which made the situation worse but I appreciate what your father has done. After the incident, I have tried to make things right but I wasn't able to provide it successfully. I respected your opinion and drove you back to the port safely. I am deeply sorry for what happened to your family that day. Thank you for your honest opinions and taking your time to write the review. From this experience, I've learned and I have an intention of improving in the future. Thank you Sayori
“Amazing day ”
Sayori was an informative and articulate guide with a lot of local knowledge. She was able to adapt the itinerary due to the weather and made it very interesting. Her English was impeccable and I would highly recommend Sayori to anyone wanting a great day in Shimizu.
