“Shimizu and points of interest”

We had a wonderful day touring with Sayori H. We journeyed to a seaside view of Mt. Fuji, took a cable car to the Kunozan Shrine, with great views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay and visited a tea plantation. The weather was great, toped off with a great guide in Sayori. She was very informative, spoke excellent English along with a very good knowledge of the area. We would recommend her anytime. Pat and Alida

Excellent and a lovely tour with Sayori. She was on time, flexible, excellent control of english, excellent guide with vast knowledge of the area, able to answer most of our questions and very accommodating. We teased her for planning this trip which included very clear views of Mt. Fuji the entire day, a special holiday in Fujinomiya complete with Japanese parade and dancing!!! Also had a wonderful time at Shiraito Falls and sharing Persimmons. I would highly recommend her anytime.
