We decided to spend the day in Shizuoka in between Tokyo and Kyoto and our day with Miyuki was a very dense, great way to spend it. She made the day very fun and enjoyable and we are so happy to be able to have experienced Shizuoka so well in such a short time
Thank you very much for joining our tour from Shizuoka Station. It is our great pleasure to hear that you enjoyed Shizuoka with Miyuki. I will share your review with her. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Thanks and best regards, Hirokane
Kiyo, our tour guide was extremely flexible, knowledgeable, and friendly. It was cloudy and raining on the day of our tour, so views of Mt. Fuji were not going to happen. Kiyo had several audibles lined up for us due to the inclement weather. We ended up doing a mix of old itinerary and a couple new things that worked perfectly with the weather and our schedule. The Shizuoka area is beautiful and full of fascinating history and culture. The driver was also very friendly and professional and the van was spacious and was able to comfortably accommodate us all. He had umbrellas for everyone, which was clutch because of the weather. I give this experience and the guide and the driver my highest recommendation. If we are ever back in Shizuoka, we will be using them again for more guided experiences. Arigatou Gozaimasu!
