“Fun and Interactive Day in Shimizu”
We had a fantastic day in Shimizu with our guide, Sayori. She was fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable, making the whole experience both enjoyable and insightful. She took us to some of Shimizu’s highlights, including Kunozan Toshogu Shrine and the beautiful Miho-no-Matsubara, sharing stories and cultural context that brought each site to life. The highlight of the day was when Sayori specially organized kimono and yukata rentals for us—an unforgettable experience that allowed us to take wonderful photos with Mount Fuji in the background. Sayori went above and beyond to make our tour memorable, and we are so grateful for her thoughtfulness and enthusiasm. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Shimizu!

“Fantastic guide!”
We were on a cruise throughout Japan. Shimizu was one of our port stops. We were really happy we found Sayori. The 4 hour tour was perfect for our day in port. Sayori is an excellent guide. She was very personable and friendly. She was also very patient with my elderly mother. We went to Miho PIne Grove, the Ropeway, and also the fish market. We had enough time for sightseeing, shopping, and even a morning snack. What I appreciate also is that Sayori shared little bits of the culture throughout our tour. Sayori also helped us to select menu items from the restaurant at the Fish Market. She also informed us of free transportation back to the cruise ship after the fish market. If you are going to be in Shimizu, I highly recommend Sayori!

“Exceptional Guide in Shizuoka – Highly Recommended!”
Our family of four had a wonderful time exploring Shizuoka with Sayori. She is friendly, an excellent communicator, knowledgeable, and highly organized. She planned our tour perfectly—coordinating our start time with the bus schedule and arranging taxis in advance so we never had to wait. Sayori met us promptly at the ship terminal and gave us a warm welcome as we disembarked. Toward the end of our tour, we enjoyed a lovely lunch together, where she ensured all our orders were correct. She even went above and beyond by spending extra time with us while we shopped for treats, making our interactions with the shops effortless. We highly recommend Sayori!
