**Please check my calendar for availability before inquiring** Greeting from the land of Mt. Fuji, Japan! My name is Moto, a nationally certificated English-speaking guide. Do you know where the famous Mt. Fuji is in Japan? Geographically Mt. Fuji is just located on the border between Shizuoka and Yamanashi. Southern part belongs in Shizuoka and Northern part in Yamanashi. Interestingly the feature of Mt. Fuji is completely different as for view and attractions from two states. From Shizuoka, sunlight shines on the hillside of the mountain all the year. We can see its brightly iconic spectacles combined with the ocean, tea plantation or a bullet train. Whereas, from Yamanashi, snow covers on the top half of the mountain in winter and remains until early summer. Gorgeous natural beauty with Fuji Five Lakes and Aokigahara Sea of Trees. Why did I mention such a story? Honestly I was born in Shizuoka and now live in Yamanashi! That proves I know all about Mt. Fuji and its surrounding area. Nature, culture, history, food, people. . . including local charms that guidebooks never show. I do guarantee you will be satisfied with my tour tailored as you like! Hope to hear from you soon! Ex. I have a license of mountain trekking guide. Planning from one day's short hike to overnight expedition in Mt. Fuji and Southern Alps mountains is available. Ask for details. National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter (English) Japan Mountain Guide Association Trekking Guide (Stage I) I am not a driver/guide and that transportation will be arranged and charged separately.

Overview of your Shizuoka tour
Shimizu, located just center between Tokyo and Osaka, has been developed as a port town since 1800's. It started to export green tea and tangerine oranges to the world, but now deals machinery for automobile and industrial parts mainly. Also the largest amount of landing tuna in Japan. Shimizu port has been admired as one of the three beautiful ports in Japan along with Kobe and Nagasaki, for its scenery and mild climate. The view of Mt. Fuji with the ocean and tea plantation is breathtaking, which symbolizes Japanese beauty. Even in winter, there is no snow and oranges of the trees are glittered by warm sunshine. I used to live in Shimizu for years and know A to Z, from major tourist sights to secret local ones. Let's explore such an attractive city with me! -All my tours can be customized, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions -
