“Do this if you want a fuss free holiday!”
From planning to the actual day, it was a breeze communicating with Chinami-san. She is very responsive and clear and I know she carefully and thoughtfully did the planning based on what we wanted to do. We visited the wind caves, motosu lake, did Muscat grape picking and some wineries for wine tasting. Chinami-san is knowledgeable about the history of the Mt Fuji area and is generous at sharing. We learnt a lot about local farms and fruits and forests. Highly recommend!

Dear Ong family Thank you very much for the review! I have felt sorry about the tour because the weather was not good and we could not do the original plan. Also, the flowers in Motosu resort were not full of bloom either. Most area in Japan has had rain all September though... Anyway, I am happy now to know that you enjoyed the tour. Did you make Hoto noodles? Please come back to Mt Fuji area with your family to have local food, which we could not this time! PS The hand bite by my cat is much better now. Chinami

“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.

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!!!
