Experience Shizuoka with a Private Guide and Local Travel Expert

Welcome to Shizuoka!

Hello, I’m Akane, a licensed tour guide in Japan and the founder of Shizuoka U Travel. Thank you for visiting my website.

Since I was born and raised in this beautiful area of Japan, looking at Mount Fuji, I’m deeply committed to sharing the best experiences that Shizuoka has to offer. As both a licensed tour guide and a local travel expert, I tailor each tour to your personal interests and needs, from exploring famous landmarks to discovering hidden gems.

• Personalized Tours: Whether you're interested in local food, history, nature, or culture, I’ll create a tour that suits your preferences.
• Comprehensive Travel Assistance: As your guide and travel expert, I take care of every detail, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience.
• Local Insights: With my deep local knowledge, I’ll take you to places you won’t find in typical tourist guides, giving you a true taste of the area.

I am devoted to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout your journey, making sure every moment is memorable!

Shizuoka is rich in history and natural beauty, and it would be my pleasure to help you explore all the things that make it truly special.

Join a memorable private tour, guided by a friendly, government-licensed English-speaking guide who knows all the local secrets of Shizuoka! Whether you prefer a leisurely walking tour or the comfort of a private car with all transportation arranged for you, I ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Explore at your own pace—perfect for groups of family, friends, or couples looking for a relaxed and enriching experience, unlike a typical bus group tour. Cruise ship passengers calling at Shimizu Port are of course welcome! Let me help you plan the perfect shore excursion from the Port.

Shizuoka City offers a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for educational trips. I provide exciting, customized experiences for school groups, including hands-on learning activities, educational visits, and interactive Japanese language lessons. These activities together offer students a unique cultural experience, helping them connect with and appreciate the local culture. It’s a rewarding and educational experience, providing a valuable opportunity for cross-cultural understanding that students will carry with them long after the trip.

How about taking an online Japanese language lesson before your trip to Japan? I’ll help you prepare to communicate with the locals, making your journey even more memorable!
