Shore excursion from Shimizu port, the land of Mt.Fuji
Joined 2018
Shizuoka is one of the most attractive sightseeing destination in Japan. Being in the southern part of the country, its moderate climate allows us to enjoy the warmth and sunshine even in the winter season. There are a lot of places to see in Shizuoka; scenic beauties and places of historical interest, with plenty of local cuisine dishes and flavors to taste. This tour guides a variety of local fascinations compactly, especially for cruise travelers who disembark at Shimizu port.

“Private Shore Excursion to Mt. Fuji/Shimizu with Moto-san”
After our 12 day cruise of Japan, our group of 5 compared notes and declared that Moto's private guided tour of Mt. Fuji/Shimizu was our favorite of all of our excursions. Mainly this was due to his curated selection of visit sites that spanned different cultural aspects of the area. In a short period of time, we saw waterfalls and lakes with a view of Mt. Fuji, ate peaches from a local vendor, went to an authentic tea house, ate lunch at an authentic non-touristy restaurant, and visited a local sake shop that used 200 year old water from Mt. Fuji to make its own sake. I don't much care for sake, but this stuff was light years ahead of what I've ever had in the States. Moto was interesting, responsive, and very helpful. You can't go wrong with this selection.

“6 hr trip from Shimizu cruise port”
Everything we asked for and more. Moto was waiting as our party of four disembarked the cruise ship. He had hired a very comfortable car and it was great to skip the queues and head off on our Taylor made trip. Moto was informative , spoke perfect English and was very pleasant. We visited a tea plantation , Shiraito falls, Sake brewery , Mt. Fuji interactive museum and enjoyed a delicious traditional Japanese lunch . A great day and we were lucky enough to have plenty great views of Mt Fuji along the way. Highly recommend

“Moto is MOTOamazing :)”
We had the absolute pleasure of touring Shimizu with Moto as our guide, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. From start to finish, Moto was warm, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful—he truly treated us like royalty. Our visit included a stop at a local sake brewery and several scenic spots with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji. Thanks to Moto’s deep knowledge of the area and his great sense of timing, we were able to experience the beauty of the region in a truly unforgettable way. Moto went above and beyond to make sure our family had a memorable experience. He made us feel welcome and cared for every step of the way. We can’t speak highly enough of him—our whole family absolutely loved him! If you’re visiting Shimizu or the Mount Fuji area, don’t miss the chance to tour with Moto. He’s the best!
