Thank you for coming to my page. My name is Sayori, a Japanese who loves people. My goal is to meet people from every country in the world!! I was born and raised in Yamanashi, on the foot of Mt. Fuji that is the tallest and the most beautiful mountain I know. My family owned a Japanese Inn where I worked and we welcomed guests from all over the world. Having an experience of living in California, US for 6 years had also influenced my life dramatically. Having the knowledge of speaking English and hospitality and joy of meeting people has lead me to be a tour guide. I am a part time English teacher, a fitness trainer and a tour guide and a full time mother of 3 children in Shizuoka pref Japan. Since my children got little older, I started to be a tour guide from 2024. I love showing travelers what "Japan" is like!! Shizuoka is a quite city and located right in the middle of Tokyo and Kyoto where you can take a break between busy cities. We have beautiful mountains and rivers and surrounded by tea plantation. Shizuoka tea, green tea, Matccha are the most famous and you can also enjoy many products using green tea. Sharing Japanese history and tradition and custom would make your trips even more memorable. When you come to Shizuoka area, I would love to be the one who delivers the joy and color of real Japan. I can customize your wishes into the tour!! My famous tour is from Shimizu port. 1. Visiting Mino No Matsubara, Nihon Daira, cable car to Kuunozan Toshogu shrine and Kashinoichi Fish Market. 2. Visiting Gyokuro no Sato for tea ceremony. 3. Visiting Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center and Fuji Sengen Taisha I am not a driver. I usually take buses or trains or catch a taxi from one place to another. I can also arrange a taxi for you. Thank you for your time.

I will personally greet you at the cruise terminal and escort you by a taxi on a memorable tour showcasing Shizuoka’s natural beauty and magnificent views of Mount Fuji. First, visit Miho no Matsubara, where pine trees, blue sea, and snow-capped Fuji create one of Japan’s most iconic landscapes. Enjoy a peaceful seaside walk and fresh ocean air. Next, take in panoramic views from Nihondaira Yume Terrace, overlooking Mount Fuji, Suruga Bay, and Shizuoka’s tea fields. A scenic ropeway ride leads to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, a richly decorated National Treasure dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu. Please wear comfortable shoes for about 80 steps. After a wonderful day, I will escort you safely back to the port in time for departure.
