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. Under the related national law, licensed guides are not allowed to drive cars for the guests. So, I have a drivers' license, I cannot drive a car as guide.

Overview of your Shimizu tour

As you know, Mt. Fuji is one of the World Heritage Sites, but what mesmerizes all the visitors around the world is the elegant and peaceful presence with a height of 3, 776m. The sacred mountain is changing its figure day by day. Even though we cannot see it, we can "feel" it at the foot of the mountain under the cloudy sky. The nearby towns and cities along the lakes are also enchanting us with a lot of scenery as well as hospitality. That is why Mt. Fuji was registered not as the Natural Heritage Site but as the Cultural Heritage Site. You will be surely amazed not only by the beautiful natural scenery or artificial handy crafts but by the local people's warm-hearted treatments there. This tour is conducted in a chartered taxi, so you can customize it as you like it.

it's hard to believe that we could have such a great day with Yasuhiro on an excursion to Mt Fuji. The weather was so bad, we never actually got a glimpse of the mountain. Although it rained cats and dogs all day, our guide nevertheless was able to put together a very informative tour. The tea garden, the waterfalls, the natural heritage visiting center were all very interesting and informative. Yasuhiro was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, as was Ben our driver. the day urned out to be one of the best days we spent in Japan. John

Our guide Yasuhiro Mochi was excellent for our group of 12 people. He was very informative and took pride in passing on his knowledge of Mt. Fuji and the surrounding area. I highly recommend Mochi and if the opportunity arises, we would not hesitate to reach out to him again.

Mochi put together a tailored, interesting and well-paced tour with built in flexibility to make adjustments on the fly. He communicated well throughout, from pre-planning through the end of the tour - and made the experience interesting and fun. We had a great time and highly recommend.
