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.

“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.

“Best tour for lake Kawaguchiko ”
We had the pleasure to visit Lake Kawaguchiko and Mt. Fuji area. Chinami is a wonderful person and we were extremely pleased and impressed with her knowledge and experience. She shared all the information and historical facts about lake Fuji and surroundings. We also learned a bit more about Japanese culture and tradition. She was kind and patient to check for multiple restaurants to suit our restricted dietary habits. We really enjoyed her company. It was a great trip and will definitely recommend her tours to all other travelers. Thank you Chinami!!

Thank you very much for the great review. I am so happy that you enjoyed yourselves and liked the tour in Mt Fuji area. More than that, I was glad to know you saw Mt Fuji from your hotel. So, I recommend my guests stay overnights in the area. I feel sorry about lunch time become late a bit. I will try to find more options for guests. Please come different seasons again. Your impression would be so different. Take care and best wishes
