Finally, relax at Miho Beach, home to the Miho Pine Tree Grove, part of the Mt. Fuji World Heritage site, and the Miho no Matsugara Culture & Creativity Center. This tour offers breathtaking views of Shimizu and a quaint temple experience, distinct from the more tourist-heavy temples in Kyoto or Tokyo. Created in 2024, this tour is ideal for guests who prefer not to climb stairs, walk long distances, or take the ropeway to Kunozan Toshogu Shrine.
Note: While a sedan taxi can accommodate up to 3 guests plus a guide, it is recommended for up to 2 guests plus a guide for comfort, as the rear seat may be cramped for three larger individuals. In such cases, opting for our van taxi tour is highly recommended over the sedan taxi tour.
- Though the capacity of a sedan taxi is up to 3 guests + a guide, we recommend this sedan taxi tour for up to 2 guests + a guide. It is too small for 3 big people to sit in the rear seat. In this case, we highly recommend to choose our van taxi tour instead of sedan taxi tour.
