“An Unforgettable, Authentic Escape in Shimizu!”
If you are looking for a day that feels less like a "tour" and more like visiting a dear friend, Sayori is the perfect guide. Since she is married to a Canadian, her English is flawless, making communication effortless and deep. Our main goal was to escape the crowds, and Sayori delivered perfection. One of the highlightswas the Tea Farm. As a dedicated coffee drinker, I was skeptical, but the experience was transformative—tasting 20 different varieties of tea in such a serene, soulful atmosphere was unforgettable. Sayori also went above and beyond to personalize our day. While she organized a wonderful, authentic Onsen visit for me (completely away from the mainstream), she took my strawberry-loving wife and our driver strawberry picking. Seeing two "strawberry-happy" women radiating joy when I finished my bath was a sight to behold! Though Mount Fuji was shy behind the clouds that day, the genuine warmth of the people and the beauty of the seaside at Miho no Matsubara more than made up for it. Sayori didn't just show us Shimizu; she gave us a day of peace and local charm we will never forget. Thank you so much and all the best4you Sayori.

Sayori H.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful message. It truly means a lot to me. I’m so happy to hear that you felt the day was more like visiting a friend than being on a tour—that is exactly the experience I always hope to create. It was a pleasure spending time with you both and sharing some of the quieter, more local sides of Shimizu. I will never forget the smiles after the strawberry picking—such a joyful moment. Although Mount Fuji stayed hidden, I’m grateful we were still able to enjoy the peaceful beauty of Miho no Matsubara together. Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing to spend your day with me. I hope our paths cross again someday, and I wish you both many more wonderful travels ahead. Warm regards, Sayori

“Sayori san is a fantastic and personable guide”
She was able to customize our tour itinerary based on our priorities. In addition, she organized taxis at the appropriate stages, combining with trains for a more cost effective tour. She had extensive local and historical knowledge which made for an informative tour. We were able to chat about things in general too, and she demonstrated a genuine interest in our stories. She shared aspects of her life too, including about Japan. Her English is impeccable.
