“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!

“Great day, shame about the rain!!!!”
Motoyuki was prompt and ready to go for our trip to Mt Fuji and beyond. His enthusiasm is wonderful and he is very adaptable to changing the timetable is you request a change. Local knowledge and history is very strong. And we really appreciated visiting the Saki Distillery as an extra side trip. I have one wish, and that is the entire cost of the day had been prepaid. Don’t misunderstand, Motoyuki had advised that we needed to pay for the rental car on the day, we just wish everything had been fully paid before the trip. We highly recommend Motoyuki, he is knowledgeable, kind & loved to laugh.

Thanks for your delightful review and for posting pictures! Even though Mt. Fuji had been embarrassed to reveal her figure, I am happy to know that you enjoyed the tour. Actually, Shizuoka is still local for foreign tourist but there are so many attractive place to visit. Hope to come again and explore more! All my best,
$362/ per group

Feel Great Nature of Mt.Fuji & Mystical Forest Aokigahara
The Fuji Five Lakes and the Aokigahara Forest are fascinating natural wonders created by Mt.Fuji. They remain untouched nature sceneries. They are on the north side of the mountain, in Nation Park of Japan, and are only 2 hours away from Tokyo. It is the ideal place to purify mind and body in the tranquility of nature. We can also arrange other sight seeing spots including Arakurayama Sengen Shrine, Ashikawa Village, Ide Sake Brewery.. etc up to your requests.

Shore excursion from Shimizu port, the land of Mt.Fuji
Shizuoka is one of the most attractive sightseeing destination in Japan. Being in the southern part of the country, its moderate climate allows us to enjoy the warmth and sunshine even in the winter season. There are a lot of places to see in Shizuoka; scenic beauties and places of historical interest, with plenty of local cuisine dishes and flavors to taste. This tour guides a variety of local fascinations compactly, especially for cruise travelers who disembark at Shimizu port.

Shore excursion from Shimizu port, more closer to Mt.Fuji
This tour takes you more closer to Mt.Fuji, visiting Fujinomiya, which is 30km east of Shimizu port. This city is located on the southern foot of Mt.Fuji, being away only 20km from the top. There are so many spots worth seeing gifted from Mt.Fuji. Also, the gorgeous view of the mountain is always at the side of you. For going to and from there, we can take the local railways, which must be a fun experience, too.
