Reviews

“Shimizu Highlights”

Had a wonderful time with Moto despite the inclement weather. It was disappointing not to be able to see Mt. Fuji, but Moto was creative and resourceful in finding interesting and enjoyable alternatives for us.

“Great tour of Shimizu”

We had an enjoyable and highly informed tour of Shimuzu. We got a special look at Mt Fuji and all sorts of accompanying information. We were given a detailed understanding of the life of Tokugawa Ieyasu and of the shrine where he is said to have been buried. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. We highly recommend Moto and the tour he took us on.

Thanks for the review and rating! I know your country's pride, Mt. Cook, is a beautiful mountain, just like Mt. Fuji. We have to thank them for the resources provided and keep their environment. I will visit NZ and contact you!

“Great Private Cruise Excursion”

Moto made our day in Shimizu really enjoyable. He is so friendly and has so much knowledge and experience of Mt Fuji. He also arranged a private tea ceremony for us at a family-owned tea house taking us away from the crowds. I was traveling with my parents who are older and needed additional assistance amid Moto made sure to arrange a vehicle and the day around their abilities. Thank you again Moto for making our port day so enjoyable.

Thanks for such a superior review. It was a lucky day, so we could see Mt. Fuji unexpectedly. Also, I am very glad to hear you enjoyed the tea ceremony experience. Our locals welcome guests who are interested in our culture. Hope to come again to our place. Arigatou!
