Traveller reviews
Our wonderful guide, Hirokane, was perfect, from communication before the tour (he even took a photo of our ship as we docked for us) to every enjoyable minute of our tour. He carefully planned the amazing sights to meet our mobility needs. He even arranged for Mt Fuji to be on full display, a rare occurrence. He was kind and thoughtful. He was easy to understand as he shared his vast knowledge of the area and the culture. We will always remember this fantastic tour and Hero's engaging manner.
We had great time in Shimizu. We booked tour for picking up us at 10:30am. But when we came out at 10am, we thought we are too early and maybe we need to wait for 30 minutes. Surprisingly our tour guide Kyla and her manager Mr. Hirokane both are at the port waiting for us. Our tour guide Kyla is very knowledgeable and professional. her manager even arranged renting a special wheelchair free of charge for my disabled daughter to go to beach. We are so thrilled with their service. Kyla made our half a day Shimizu tour so fun and memorable! If we visit Shimizu again in the future, we will definitely use their service again!
We had a wonderful time in Shimizu! Kyla was our guide and she brought her microphone headset so we could all hear in and out of the van. She also told us so much about the places we visited. Would happily take this tour again!
Lots of value in this tour! Miyuki and her driver provided excellent service. We got a lot more bang for our buck than booking with our ship’s shore excursions. She took us to a beach and provided us with a beach wheelchair for my 85 year-old Mom for a view of Mt. Fuji. She then took us to the observatory for more stunning views of Mt. Fuji. This was followed by a trip to a green tea farm. We finally went to the Kanpuzan Temple. All these times, Miyuki was snapping memorable pictures of our group. It was a fantastic day!
Wonderful knowledgeable guide who took us to three of the most important places in the city and outside
Our day at Mt. Fuji was unforgettable, even with the unpredictable weather, so definitely bring an umbrella, as Mother Nature is in charge! Despite the changing conditions, it didn’t dampen our experience at all. Hirokane-san was a truly lovely and friendly guide who made the entire day feel relaxed and special. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights that brought the area to life. The private tour allowed us to explore comfortably at our own pace, and he even took us to a few hidden spots we wouldn’t have found ourselves. His warm personality and attention to detail made all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a memorable and personalized Mt. Fuji experience.
We had the most fabulous day with our guide Hiroko, who shared her knowledge of Shimizu with us. Her english was excellent, and we even had the honour of visiting a temple where we were invited to try on a wedding kimono. We explored Miho no Matsubara Beach, and learnt of the legend of Miho no Matsubara. Shout out to our driver Ryan for getting us around safely and on time.
We had a lovely tour with our guide Nobuko when visiting Shimizu. We had wonderful views of Mt. Fuji and learned so much. Nobuko was fun, flexible, and so accommodating to our group's needs. Our group included a 7-year old and an older adult with mobility issues but our guide didnt miss a beat when making sure everyone was able to participate in a way that worked for them. It was amazing to recognize and apply all that we learned on our tour at other places we subsequently visited in Japan, like the purification ritual at Shinto shrines and why there's often a model of Ieyasu's horse found at many of them. My daughter especially enjoyed the shrine we visited and being able to feed the fish and play with some traditional instruments and toys. Plus, meeting our guide and driver was super easy and convenient, right off the ship. Great communication and service throughout. We highly recommend it.
