I was born and raised in Shimizu, so I know the area very well and enjoy sharing its charm with visitors.

I look forward to showing you around and helping you create wonderful memories of your time here.

Great tour of Shimizu

Make sure you take your tour of Shimizu with Take. He is knowledgeable about his local area and shows you in his very own kind, caring manner. From the time we booked our tour he was very friendly and interested in us what we wanted to see. Take, stays with you the whole time so you don’t miss anything. He is a lot of fun to be with. Thanks again Take.

Thank you, too! It was a real pleasure exploring Shimizu with both of you. You both looked so happy while chatting throughout the tour! Greg san and Christine san, you are such a wonderful couple, and it was lovely to see how close you are. I hope your wonderful memories of Japan will stay with you for many years to come. Take

Shimizu stunning & fun

We’re so glad we found Go with Guide and our tour guide Take. He deserves an A* for his expertise and kindness on our recent visit to your prefecture. Besides visiting the marine museum, seeing where Ocha grows and learning about 3 different types of tea and getting to taste hot tea at the shop, Shinto Shrine & viewing Fujiyama Taje was so thoughtful to share snacks, tea & writing a personalized postcard with each of our names in Kanji. Take has a good way of being organized, prepared & guiding the tourists to leave with more information. We all had a wonderful day with Take. We took 3 tours on our recent trip but would suggest this tour esp if leaving from the cruise port is easy and Take met and returned us to where our ship was docked.

Warmly, From your "wonderful" tour guide, Take
