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.

Yokohama is the largest port in Japan, which is also the terminal and most convenient place to visit the major sightseeing places, such as Tokyo, Kamakura and Hakone (Mt. Fuji). For those who want to drop in at Tokyo, public transportations are very convenient there, while those who are staying for more than 8 hours, a chartered taxi is better, which is a better way to spend time wisely and economically. There are three regions to be able to go: 1) Central part of Tokyo: Meiji Jingu shrine, Imperial Residence, Asakusa, Ueno Park (Toshogu Shrine) and Ginza (shopping) 2) Kamakura: Great Buddha Statue, Golden Statue of Buddha, Hachiman Shrine built by samurai warriors and Houkokuji temple (bamboo temple) 3) Hakone: Mt. Fuji viewing on top of Owaku dani, Cruse ship ride on Lake Ashi, Hakone shrine and Hakone Open Air Museum
Sample (in case of Tokyo) 9:00 (A) Pick up in Yokohama and go to Ueno Park and learn the history of the Edo period (Kan-eiji relics and Toshogu shrine). 10:00 (B) Go to Asakusa Sensouji temple and shrine.
