“Amazing day with Moto”
We had a fantastic day with Moto. He met us at the port of our ship and had a car waiting to take the four of us driving for the day. We drove up in the mountains to a peaceful lake that had great views of Mt Fuji. Then to a waterfall with beautiful flowers and trees We stopped at a little sake store and sampled many different varieties. Moto was so professional and knowledgeable. He made us feel so welcome. We would recommend him to anyone

It was a wonderful day with a beautiful view of Mt Fuji. And you had figured out that there are so many places to see worth seeing in the area. Why don't you come again and stay a few more days to explore? I am waiting for your next contact!

“Fabulous day with Moto”
Had a fantastic day trying to get the perfect shot of Mt Fuji. Unfortunately the shy lady stayed hidden behind the clouds but we loved the day anyway. We saw beautiful tea fields, cedar forests, waterfalls and so much more. We enjoyed a delicious lunch. Thanks Moto: you are a great guide.

Thanks for the rating and review! It was delightful that you wore Mt Fuji T-shirts all together. I believe your hope reached the mountain, and finally, she was revealed! Thanks for sharing a wonderful time with me.

“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.
$364/ per group
