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.
I can guide you in Shizuoka(Shimizu) and Nagano if you pay for my transportation fee (and accommodation depending on time a tour starts and where).
If you would like me to pick up in Tokyo, I have to ask you pick up fee as well.
I am available to guide only in Yamanashi and Mt Fuji from May to July.
Also, I have only customized tour in April because it might be hard to complete all sight seeing spots due to peak tourist season.

“Mt Fuji hiking tour”
My friend and I absolutely loved our guide with Chinami. She was so lovely, punctual and very knowledgeable. It was a true pleasure to be in her company. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering, it is life changing!
Chinami N.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was foggy and we could not see much the view from the mountain. However, you seemed to enjoy the trail and history about Mt Fuji. I forgot giving you the brochure of Fujiyoshi city that says the festival, ritual and so on. So, please come back to Mt Fuji area again and climb the mountain to the summit next time! Take care and keep in touch!

“Day trip to Kamakura ”
Chinami prepared an interesting itinerary that covered the top attractions in Kamakura. Chinami was well prepared and knowledgeable about Kamakura's history and culture. We had 11 people in our private group and all had a wonderful time with Chinami.
