Tour Important Information
If you can not arrive at Kawaguchiko station around 9, I will change the tour in order to fit your plan.
I might change the itinerary when we expect bad weather. In that case, I will tell you in advance.
I recommend you go to the world heritage center or Kubota Ichiku art museum instead.
Also, when the rope way is very busy and we have to wait for long time, I will suggest alternative place.

Kimberly K.
“Wonderful tour of Yamanashi and a few of its wineries.”
We highly recommend Chinami as a tour guide. We were extremely lucky to have booked our winery tour with her; she was fantastic. Chinami drove us around Yamanashi for a stunning view of Mt. Fuji before the wine tasting began. We visited five wineries in total: we selected Katsunuma Marquis Winery, and her choices for the other four were excellent. She also recommended a perfect winery for lunch—the food was amazing, and the view was breathtaking. Additionally, soon after we booked the tour, she sent us easy-to-follow instructions for booking our train tickets. At the end of the day, she drove us directly to the train station and took us right to the platform. We highly recommend Chinami for anyone looking for a wonderful experience.

“Amazing Mount Fuji Tour with Chinami!”
We had a fantastic day with Chinami in Shimizu and Mount Fuji! She was kind, professional, and very well-organized. The itinerary was perfectly timed, and she made sure we enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed. Chinami shared great insights and took us to beautiful spots with stunning views of Mount Fuji. We felt very well taken care of and truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!

I appreciated your gratuity and kind worlds you said me. I will visit you in Israel in the future. Keep in touch and take care of yourselves. Chinami
