Mt. Fuji in Fujinomiya and Shiraito watefalls
Mt. Fuji can be seen from Tokyo, but if you feel the real size and its atmosphere as well as the value, you should definitely visit this area. I am mainly guiding for the cruise ship passengers for shore excursion, but it is possible to pick you up at a JR station (Shizuoka and Shin-Fuji).

Fine view of Mt. Fuji from Shimizu port
Mt. Fuji is one of the national icons of Japan that most of foreign travelers adore. This tour is mainly focused on passengers of cruise ship docking in Shimizu port, but if you want to visit Shizuoka, it is worth visiting. I will guide you using my private car (TOYOTA Corolla Cross). All the cost is included in the tour price. If you want to see Mt. Fuji, never miss to visit Shimizu or Shizuoka.

Hakone, enjoy the wonderful natural beauty and fine museums!
Hakone is one of the national parks of Japan, which is less than 100 miles away from Tokyo. So, Hakone is one of the most popular destinations for a lot of foreign travelers. Since it has been very popular among Japanese people, it has become much busier and more crowded than before. Yet, it is absolutely the king of resort place for a lot of travelers.
Hakone, enjoy the wonderful natural beauty and fine museums!

“Great tour with Yashiro (Motchee)”
We had an outstanding 6.5‑hour tour with Motchee in Shimizu, and it became one of the highlights of our trip. He picked us up right on time at the port and drove us safely and comfortably to all major sights in the region. Throughout the day, Motchee impressed us with his deep knowledge of the area, his very clear English, and his remarkable patience. We visited all the key spots — Miho‑no‑Matsubara, Nihondaira, the Kunōzan Tōshōgū Shrine, and the local fish market — and at every stop he shared fascinating background information and cultural insights. He also knew exactly where to find the best photo spots, which made the experience even more memorable. The communication before, during, and after the tour was excellent, and we always felt well taken care of. For small groups who want a personal, informative, and smoothly organized experience in Shimizu, Motchee is the perfect guide. A clear 5‑Star recommendation.

“Some days stay with you… this was one of them.”
Some days stay with you… this was one of them. Yasuhiro was already there waiting for us — with a kindness that feels rare, and a beautiful, heartwarming gift prepared by his family. Such a small gesture, yet it set the tone for everything that followed. What we appreciated most was the way he guided us — thoughtful, insightful, and very natural. He shared things gradually, always keeping it engaging, with a particularly deep knowledge of the local vegetation. And somehow… he even managed to “arrange” the clouds just in time, so we wouldn’t miss that first, breathtaking glimpse of Mount Fuji. Cherry blossoms framed the day in full bloom, quietly reminding us how fleeting and beautiful everything is.

Hello! I'm a local tour guide based in Shimizu, Shizuoka. I was born and raised in Shimizu, so I know the area very well and enjoy sharing its charm with visitors. Before becoming a guide, I worked as a teacher, which helped me develop clear communication and a passion for helping others learn. I look forward to showing you around and helping you create wonderful memories of your time here.

I am Fumie Ueda, a National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter in Atami, Shizuoka, only 50 minutes away from Tokyo by Shinkansen trains. Atami is conveniently located at the foot of the Hakone mountains, and the base of the Izu Peninsula. It is also close to Mt. Fuji and the Shimizu Port in Shizuoka. I am excited to show you around beautiful places that I love. I grew up in Yokohama, spent 1 year as a high school exchange student in Allentown, PA in the US, went to college and lived/worked in Tokyo for about 10 years before coming to this beautiful onsen resort. After becoming a guide, I met with guests from various backgrounds, and I feel grateful once again, for my experience to be exposed to different cultures in my youth. Let’s have a good time together!
