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 Shizuoka tour

Generally speaking, tourists from abroad would love to see Mt. Fuji once in their lifetime. Fortunately, here is a chance to make your dream come true! At the top of the Nihondaira plateau, you can command the full view of Mt. Fuji and its surrounding locations on the top of the mountain called Nihondaira. You can take wonderful photos at "YUME (which means "dream terrace") on top of the plateau. After fully enjoying the wonderful scenery, we will move to a traditional Shinto Shrine named TOSHOGU at the top of the mountain, which is one of Japan's national treasures. You can experience a Japanese atmosphere there because Shinto shrines are a very familiar place to most of the Japanese, as well as important religious places. On the way to the shrine, we use a rope-way (sky way) which connects two mountains in only 6 minutes. The panoramic view is also wonderful!
