“Unique Experience in Shimizu”
4 of us had a great time with Moto-san. We went to a tea plantation and got a detailed look at the tea harvesting machinery and were able to ask all the questions we wanted to. Then we drove to a tea ceremony. It was a long drive to get there, but the setting was gorgeous and we got to feed their koi plus they had some nice treats for sale. Moto also took us to a special Mt. Fuji view spot, but unfortunately it was too cloudy to see the mountain. The tea ceremony was about $4 per person!

Thanks for the review and rating. Even though the mountain was in the cloud, I am happy to know you were satisfied by the tour! There are so many places worth seeing in Shizuoka. I am waiting for you to come again with Mt Fuji <- I will ask her to appear herself in the next, haha.

“Fantastic visit around Mt Fuji”
We hired Motoyuki for a full day trip from the cruise port to the areas around Mt Fuji and had a fantastic time. We talked with many other people from our ship who took other excursions around the area, and none of them had an experience anything like ours. We took public transportation, and then a hired car Motoyuki had arranged. Not only did we get amazing views of Mt Fuji, but visited waterfalls, a sake brewery, a fantastic lunch, and a tea house! Amazing. Motoyuki is very, very familiar with the area and knew exactly what to show us. It was a fantastic day, and I would not hesitate to give Motoyuki our highest recommendation to anyone considering him.

Thanks for the awesome review of my work! I always intend to offer the place's indigenous attractions, not for tourists. I am so happy that you understood the concept and enjoyed it! Great appreciation for you.

“Great Tour with a Great Guide”
Moto was great. He knew where to take us to get the best views of Mt. Fuji, along with beautiful waterfalls, a great stop for lunch, a quiet temple, and a bonus stop at a green tea plantation. It was a fantastic tour. I would highly recommend.

Thanks for the review! It was really a fine day to travel. We completed all the attempts and enjoyed them! The Mt.Fuji view at Lake Tanuki was amazing. It was our memorable day!
