Kimberly K.
“Wonderful tour of Yamanashi and a few of its wineries.”
We highly recommend Chinami as a tour guide. We were extremely lucky to have booked our winery tour with her; she was fantastic. Chinami drove us around Yamanashi for a stunning view of Mt. Fuji before the wine tasting began. We visited five wineries in total: we selected Katsunuma Marquis Winery, and her choices for the other four were excellent. She also recommended a perfect winery for lunch—the food was amazing, and the view was breathtaking. Additionally, soon after we booked the tour, she sent us easy-to-follow instructions for booking our train tickets. At the end of the day, she drove us directly to the train station and took us right to the platform. We highly recommend Chinami for anyone looking for a wonderful experience.

“Amazing Mount Fuji Tour with Chinami!”
We had a fantastic day with Chinami in Shimizu and Mount Fuji! She was kind, professional, and very well-organized. The itinerary was perfectly timed, and she made sure we enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed. Chinami shared great insights and took us to beautiful spots with stunning views of Mount Fuji. We felt very well taken care of and truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!

Dear Ahu family. Thank you so much for such a nice comment. We could see Mt Fuji from near the ocean and the observation deck. You seemed to enjoy making wood block printings as well. Have a wonderful trip in the rest pf the days in Japan! Please keep in touch and come to the other side of Mt Fuji next time! Take care, everyone. Chinami

Hi, everyone! Thank you very much for the great review. I am so happy that you enjoyed the tour even though we could not see Mt Fuji all day long. As you said, all sceneries you saw will be very different in four seasons. This tour focus on the history of Mt Fuji religion more, however, if you come to Mt Fuji area again, I will take you trails in the forest and 5th station of Mt Fuji. I appreciated your gratuity and kind worlds you said me. I will visit you in Israel in the future. Keep in touch and take care of yourselves. Chinami

Mt. Fuji's View from Lake Kawaguchiko Up-to-You Tour starting from Shinjuku
Mt. Fuji isn't always visible, especially when it's hazy. Please choose the spots in the highlights you would like to visit around Kawaguchiko/ Mt. Fuji, based on your interest/preferences, your physical condition and the weather. It depends on which ones you choose, but I'll do my best to arrange it the way you can visit more than three of them but if you choose both Chureito Pagoda and Nemba, you might not be able to choose the other options unless you are willing to use taxis.
