♦ What My Happy Guests Say ♦

★★★★★
“We had a wonderful tour with Akane during our cruise stop in Shizuoka/Shimizu. She tailored the pace, meeting time, and places visited to our group’s interests. Akane was knowledgeable, kind, and patient, and spoke excellent English. As a local, she shared both the history and her love of her hometown. We visited the Sumpu Castle Park, Shizuoka City Downtown, Sengen Shrine. With easy public transport from the port, you shouldn’t hesitate to book!”
