“Caring and personalised.”
Take had put a lot of thought and preparation into the day. His car was clean and he drove safely. We learned a lot about Japanese culture, history and Take was very knowledgable with his local area. The day went very quickly but there was lots of chance for rest and relaxation between sites. We do not hesitate to recommend Take to any visitors. Take made our time in Shimizu become a life long memeory to treasure.

Mt. Fuji in Fujinomiya and Shiraito watefalls
Mt. Fuji can be seen from Tokyo, but if you feel the real size and its atmosphere as well as the value, you should definitely visit this area. I am mainly guiding for the cruise ship passengers for shore excursion, but it is possible to pick you up at a JR station (Shizuoka and Shin-Fuji).

Fine view of Mt. Fuji from Shimizu port
Mt. Fuji is one of the national icons of Japan that most of foreign travelers adore. This tour is mainly focused on passengers of cruise ship docking in Shimizu port, but if you want to visit Shizuoka, it is worth visiting. I will guide you using my private car (TOYOTA Corolla Cross). All the cost is included in the tour price. If you want to see Mt. Fuji, never miss to visit Shimizu or Shizuoka.
