“Wonderful, magical day tour of Fujikawaguchiko”
I had the best day with Chinami visiting the area around Lake Kawaguchiko - including a wonderful hike for a panoramic view and shrine visit, lake cruise, Oishi Park - with lavender ice cream! - a great lunch, the charming Saiko Iyashinosato, ending with a tour of the bat cave and walk in the magical Aokigahara forest. Chinami is so warm and personable, well informed and organized, timely and professional, and delightful to spend time with. I can't think of a better day tour or guide. Highly recommend having Chinami show you around!

Thank you very much for writing the review. I enjoyed myself talking with you. It was a nice day to visit around during rainy season. I wonder you already used the coffee maker you bought at the craft shop..... There are more places to go and things to do in Mt Fuji area. Please stay longer next time in different season! Stay in touch and I wish I visit you near future!

“Perfect day at Mt. Fuji!”
Our family had a great experience with Chinami at Mt. Fuji/ Lake Ashii area. Chinami helped arrange a car service for us from Hakone to Mt. Fuji to meet her. She then took us to the pagoda that has amazing views of Mt. Fuji. She knew all the best spots for photos and was always happy to snap a picture for us. My son is gluten-free, and she was so kind to help us find a good restaurant for lunch that met his needs. She was very flexible when the kids wanted to spend more time walking around the lake or the 7 ponds area. We would recommend Chinami to any family looking for a guide from the Mt. Fuji area.
Chinami N.
Thank you very much for writing the review. Your family is so friendly and cheerful. So, I enjoyed guiding all. It was about to start rainy season, however, you could see Mt Fuji time to time on the day. I knew you like hiking. You should hike mountains surrounded in the area next time. I hope you stay in Mt Fuji longer next time. Enjoy yourselves rest of days in Japan, especially in Yakushima island!!!

“Japan makes wine?!? You bet it does!!”
Even if you only have the mildest interest in wine, this tour is for you. Although Chinami gives an excellent and educational tour of the Yamanashi wine region, the beauty of the vineyards and the mountains is all the excuse you need to escape Tokyo for the day. Chinami was waiting for us at the train station when we arrived and straight away we were off to our first winery … one that I suggested which she was happy to fit into the itinerary for the day. Her knowledge of the area is exceptional and she was able to give us the highlights of the area in the short time we had. If your into trying something different the regional varieties of Japanese grapes are worth trying especially Koshu and Muscat Bailey A. We visited 5 wineries while there and had lunch at Maruki Winery which had a fantastic deck over looking the mountains. Burgers were great!!! All in all a great day and totally recommend if you want to do something different and escape the tourist crowds. Thank you Chinami for looking after us for the day!!
Chinami N.
Wow! Thank you so much for wonderful review!!I didn't t realize we went five wineries because you left Yamanashi earlier. And I am happy that you got one you wanted to buy in Budo no Oka! I have more wineries that I would like to take you to. Remember Grape festival is the first Saturday of Oct. And Yamanashi Nouveau is Nov 3. I think your children would like them. Also, if you have a couple hours, you could go to the Fruits Park that has a good view of Mt Fuji. Take care everyone and enjoy wines from Japan!

[May-November] Mt.Fuji 5th station, a short hike of Ochudo & Okuniwa
The Ochudo, also known as Middle Road, was a special trail for ascetic practitioners that circled Mt.Fuji at the level of the fifth station. The trail is adorned by beautiful flora such as Japanese larch, Rhododendron, and Lingonberry and offers a majestic view of Mt.Fuji. The trail continues to Okuniwa, as Inner Garden which used to be a lateral crater. As it is named, pine trees and volcanic rocks create artistic landscapes by all nature.
