Unforgetable Memories of a lifetime - We want to thank you for a most enjoyable day. You helped us make memories that we will never forget.
From the time we booked the tour, we were contacted by Hirokane, he provided details and pictures of where to meet them when we got off the ship. This immediately put us at ease just knowing that so much care was being provided. After arriving we were met by Hirokane and introduced to Hiroko and Ted who would take care of us for the day.
Hiroko and Ted were absolutely wonderful. Hiroko provided us with a great insight to Japan mythology, which really helped us pull together all of our visits to the Shrines and Temples. She was amazing. This was just the beginning, they took us to several amazing sites to get views of Mt. Fuji from the mountains, tea fields to the beach. We have to be some of the luckiest people. The day before we got to Shimizu, Mt Fuji had no snow, that night it got the first snow of the season....Wow Then we got the amazing guides. Who could ask for more. If you get an opportunity to spend time with them, I highly recommend their services.

I Recommend this tour of the Shimizu Area - While other tours spend hours on the road to get closer to Mt Fuji. This was the perfect tour and effective use of time. In before and after communications with Hirokane was excellent. Tour was on time an we enjoyed our guide Motoko as she guided us to the key areas. As I look back at the photos - we covered a lot of places with in the short time. Excellent experience that I recommend.

Absolutely one of the best tours we’ve ever taken - We could not have been more pleased with this tour and our guide, Miyuki. She was very personable, interesting and knowledgeable about all things Japanese. Her explanation of the history and significance of the Toshogu Shrine was enthralling. We were fortunate to have been here on a beautiful, clear day which allowed unobstructed views of Mt. Fuji. I would recommend this tour to all as Miyuki was flexible and adaptable to our every request. This tour was so much better than the “cattle car” bus tours offered by the cruise ships and but a few dollars more.

My. Fuji and more - Hiroko was a great tour guide for our group - knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. She brought a booklet with some visual papers to help explain some of the sites we visited. We enjoyed the ride down the Nihondaira Ropeway to see the Kunozan-toshogu shrine, a national treasure shrine. Warning - LOTS of steps 🥹. Back at the top, we visited the green tea fields, and from the observatory, we had great views of Mt. Fuji - it was a clear warm day, no snow on the mountain. We also went to the beach, black sand, and lots of huge beautiful trees.

Mt Fuji Proposal - What a special tour. At the time of my booking I had reached out to the company as my son was planning a surprise wedding proposal to his girlfriend. The owner of the Company Hiro immediately contacted me and was amazing in arranging the perfect spot with a view of Mt Fuji as well as they presented them with beautiful custom engraved gifts and flowers.
Our guide and Driver were so amazing, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend our day driving around their home island showing us the beautiful areas. I would highly recommend this tour company they are very easy to work with and very accommodating to special requests. Thank you for making our visit one we will never forget.
