    I had an incredible time exploring Shimoda with my new friend, Shun (Shimoda Local Guide). Without Shun, I would have been limited to the bus routes (very limited bus service), but with him, I got to experience Shimoda in the best way possible. He picked me up, and we spent our days surfing, fishing, hiking, eating yakiniku—perfect days. Since he grew up in Shimoda, he has a deep knowledge of the area and connection to the city and its people. Shun was ready to go with any activity I wanted to do (including any gear you might need) — I can’t wait to go back!

    There is something very special about having a local guide share their knowledge and connection with a place while you are visiting. My partner and I booked a day tour with Shun who took us around Izu’s east coast and southern tip. He is a highly skilled surfer and water activity specialist. We explored breathtaking scenery, beautiful secluded white sand beaches and had a very memorable surf. His knowledge of the local area and its people was exceptional. I highly recommend Shun for water activities, surf lessons / guide for experienced surfers and tours for exploring Izu!

    Shun was a fantastic guide and driver. When we weren’t able to rent a car, Shun’s service saved us allowing us to see some of Izu’s iconic sights. We did not originally want a typical “guided tour” where you follow strict stops, and are overloaded with unnecessary facts that you never remember. Shun was perfect in that respect - great casual conversation about lots of different topics, and just the right amount of local knowledge and insights that made for an amazing experience that was so much better than self-driving. He tailored a full day tour for us based on our interests and took us to an amazing seafood restaurant for lunch. Very grateful for this wonderful memorable experience of Izu 🙏🏼

    This tour is not to be missed! Shun-san is a multi generational local with family owned businesses in Shirahama Beach. He shares his passion and love of the area with a huge smile on his face. We went on a hike in the mountains to seven waterfalls; that we never would have gotten to experience on our own. He also took the husband surfing ( I snorkeled) which was the highlight of the trip! Shirahama is one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen - and I have seen plenty. Great Experience!!!

    We had 2 great surfing lessons with Shun - perfectly customized to our needs. We have 3 small kids, so it was a big advantage that we could freely choose our timetable. At the end of the Sessions, we both were able to stand the wave!!! Yeahhh The entire equipment was included and there was a locker for our belongings and a shower for afterwards. Shun and his family also run a two level shop in Shirahama with great ice cream and very nice beach bags :) We can totally recommend to book with this kind family.
