What Is a Private Shizuoka Day Tour to Miho-no-Matsubara and Kunozan Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were a group visiting from North America. At Miho-no-Matsubara, they were fortunate enough to see Mount Fuji in its full glory, and the guests were highly satisfied. From that very spot, they called their family back home to share a live report of Mount Fuji. On the steep stairs at Kunozan, everyone reached the main hall on their own and made it back down safely, which was a relief. In the car during our travels, the conversation was lively and covered a wide range of topics. Through our conversations, I could sense that they had a high level of knowledge. The question, "Why did Japan wage war against the United States?" was a difficult one to answer. The tour was carried out in a generally warm and friendly atmosphere, and I believe the guests were very pleased.

I have worked in the automotive industry for 44 years including 30 years with sales responsibility for the global car manufacturers. And I have lived in the U.S. for 20 years as permanent resident. I am quite familiar with communication in English with foreigners. I am confident not only to satisfy you but also to exceed your expectation with deep knowledge of Japan, especially for its culture based on the long history. There are many sightseers musts in Japan and I look forward to guiding you for beautiful sights, historic relics, and modern day-to-day life of the people here.
