And you know the reason why it is called the sea of trees.

“Exceptional wine tour”
Chinami was a wonderfully personable private wine tour leader, picking us up from and returning us to Enzan Station. She took us to an excellent range of vineyards in the Kofu Valley where the qualities of the local wines were so well expressed. Our lunch at a very special restaurant was perfect. Chinami also provided very informative descriptions of the local environment.

“Amazing tour!”
We had a private tour with Chinami for 6 hours in the Mt. Fuji area. Wow, we packed a lot in and got to see everything. Chinami was so informative, helpful and had such a great personality that it may for a memorable experience. She picked us up at our hotel, we went to Chureito then Oshino, Kitaguchi and a sake tour and tasting. We love our tour by Chinami!!

Thank you very much for the review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the tour. The itinerary included more than original one, so we kind of rushed, but covered most of traditional parts including local noodles, HOTO! I hope you visit the area in different season to see more flowers and try Japanese wine next time. Take care !

“Best tour guide ever”
We spent the day seeing the sites around Mt Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. Chinami would have to be the best guide we have had, ever. This was our fourth visit to Japan and the whole day went by smoothly. We adjusted our itinerary on the run due to overcrowding at some stops. Our group today consisted of 8, 4 adults and 4 children. Nothing was too hard. The restaurant Chinami chose was perfect, a small authentic Japanese restaurant that served large portions at very reasonable prices. The highlight for us was the sake brewery tour. Highly recommended this to anyone visiting this area. Thank you Chinami for an amazing day. If we are back in the area would have no hesitation in contacting you again.

Thank you very much for wonderful review. I feel sorry that you had to skip to the Ropeway and wind cave. (and carrying stuff you bought all day long...) However, you were so lucky to see Mt Fuji most of time on the day, which many travelers can't. I am considering a new tour for different alcohol, please join the tour as well as different scenery in Mt Fuji area! Thank you again and take care, everyone!
