“Mr Fuji and much more . Dont miss an opportunity to tour with Sayori ! ”
Our group of seven was trying to figure out best options of I’ll just spend our day in Shimizu. We wanted to see Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms of course. We did have some limitations as some of our group had mobility issues. So Sayori was watching the Sakura report , and this year the cherry blossoms are a little bit behind. She had various options for us, but ultimately the majority of the group wanted to try to get a good view of Mount Fuji. So we headed in that direction. The day was relatively clear and most of us opted to climb to the top to get a good view. We then returned to the town and walked through the market. She grew up in this village, and we had the honour of meeting her parents who brought us a sweet treat and welcomed us to Japan. We stopped for a delicious Japanese lunch. Sayori is knowledgeable, articulate and understandable. She lived in the US for six years and married to Canadian so her English was impeccable. Her personality is effervescent. We enjoyed our day with her. If you were lucky enough to book her for a tour wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be delighted.

“A very relaxed and super friendly day with Sayori.”
Thank you so much for a great guide around Mt Fuji sightseeing. Sayori was very informative and so lovely. Sayori was able to adjust our itinerary easily due to the strong winds today. We enjoyed her insights and our casual conversation about our countries and families. I would highly recommend Sayori to other travellers visiting the area.

Sayori was a brilliant guide she suggested our tour route and we filled her advise. We went to some amazing locations viewing point for Mt Fuji a cable car ride to a shrine down to the bead where we got fantastic views of Mt Fuji again then onto the fish market and finished with a traditional Japanese fish restaurant….. what brilliant informative day with so many delights. My wife and I highly recommend our Tour guide to future visitors, you will not be disappointed…
