The Omaezaki Port is located in the middle of Shizuoka Prefecture. This area is still not so popular with overseas tourists but is filled with attractions.
The tour leads you to two local cities, Kakegawa and Fukuroi. These cities have prospered since the Edo era on the old route of Tokaido. There are several historical sites worth visiting.
And guarantee that the scenery of the large tea fields along the way makes you peaceful and prosperous.

“Shore excursion from Shimizu port”
Moto met us at the port as soon as we disembarked and we were quickly on our way. Our excursion included the Kobayashien Tea Firm - Tea ceremony experience, Shiraito Waterfalls, lunch at a very nice local area restaurant, the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Shrine and Mt. Fuji Heritage Center. We were very pleased with the selection of sites we visited and the information Moto provided at each of them. He is very knowledgeable and we found our time with him to be a very rewarding experience. THANKS, MOTO!

Thanks for sending the review! It was a cloudy day and less visible of Mt. Fuji, but you could realize that there are many places worth seeing in the area. I appreciate your interest in and understanding of our culture. So happy to guide you again. Of course, with Mt. Fuji view next time!

“The best day!”
Moto, our guide and the beautiful large comfortable van for 6 he arranged for us, took us to the beautiful lake I requested, close to Mt Fuji. Moto told me about a waterfall nearby that was spectacular and then to a sake shop for tasting. Last but not least, a ride up the mountain to see the harbor and town night view. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
