Hi, I am Yasuhiro. Call me Motchee. I am guiding mainly in Hakone, Mt. Fuji, Tokyo, Kamakura, and my local area Shizuoka-Shimizu where you can observe Mt. Fuji clearly. I personally like travelling. So, if you want to go other areas, it is my pleasure to prepare customized tours! My home town Shizuoka has a port named Shimizu, where a lot of large cruise ships visits all the year round. So, about the half of my tours have started from this port. Many tourists from abroad want to see Mt. Fuji. I love to introduce about Mt. Fuji, which is not only a mountain but home to almost all the Japanese people. I have travelled in many foreign countries. In unfamiliar places, I have encountered a lot of kind and heart-warming people who voluntarily guide me to many places where usual travelers wouldn't go to! I really appreciate to their kindness and generosity. So, I wish to be such a kind of person who can be friendly and generous to foreign visitors and tell something different from other guides. For the past decade, the number of tourists from abroad has been rising so amazingly, but almost all the visitors visit some major cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto, which is called a "golden route" in Japan. In Japan, however, there are more attractive places than in Tokyo and Kyoto! Visitors have not noticed the existence or charm of them. Here in Shizuoka, there are a lot of famous and not famous places which should be known more to foreign visitors. In that sense, I want to be a pioneer to introduce the charm of those places and connect them to foreign visitors who willingly want to know about Japan further. I can arrange my tour (including the date and time) flexibly. Especially, cruise passengers are given limited hours in visiting port. I would like to shorten the tour with the same value as the original tour or prolong it if you want it. So, don't hesitate to ask me to make a difference. I want to be a flexible tour guide. I am looking forward to your booking! National Tour Guide-Interpreter Licence (#115) National Tour Conductor I am a professional governmental licensed tour guide for English speaking people.

Hakone is one of the most popular hot spa resorts in Japan. Whenever you go there, it is always packed with foreign visitors who want to search for something Japanese. Volcanic activity is still going on under Mt. Hakone, where you will see the dynamism of the earth directly, which will make you realize that Japan is in a volcanic zone. I visit Hakone several times, each time I go there I would like to come back there. Hakone has a place where visitors can enjoy traditional Japanese people's life and hot spa! Hakone has long been loved by tourists domestically, and recently, foreign visitors haven't missed visiting the attractive place. It is also a popular hot spa resort, where there are a lot of museums, tasty cuisines of Japanese style as well as Western ones. So, if you come to Hakone, you can enjoy hot spa, museums, cultural activities, and beautiful scenery in a couple of days. Hakone will surely offer rewarding value to all the visitors.
