**Title:** What Is a Private Tour of Shizuoka's Tea Fields, Kunozan Toshogu, and Miho no Matsubara Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were very pleased with the tea field walk and tea tasting, and they purchased many tea products as souvenirs. We used the ropeway to travel to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, and one of the guests was a little uneasy about the ropeway. (When I explained that it would take only about five minutes to arrive, they were able to board without any problem.) At Miho no Matsubara, there were few tourists, and the guests were very satisfied, finding it a wonderful place. (Since their previous itinerary had included crowded places such as Kyoto and Osaka, they had requested to visit somewhere quiet.)

My name is Hama, a nationally certified tour guide based in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Since around 2019, I’ve been guiding guests mainly from cruise ships arriving at Shimizu Port, as well as those seeking to climb Mt. Fuji.
I strive to offer more than just facts—I aim to create memorable experiences and share local stories that bring the region to life.
As someone who enjoys fishing and hiking, I especially love guiding activity-based tours. I also specialize in nature walks, cultural experiences, and historical storytelling, helping guests connect deeply with the spirit of Shizuoka.
I look forward to welcoming you!
