We are going to hike from 1st station to 5th station on Yoshida trails.
Climbing season over 5th of Mt Fuji is from July 1 ~ Sep10.
However, you can hike from the first station to fifth station on Yoshida trails in most seasons.
You see many plants along trails and see a few lakes if the weather is good.
I recommend these people who come to Mt Fuji out of climbing season or who would like to experience not too hard climbing.

“Wonderful sites of Lake Kawaguchiko”
My son and I were traveling to Mt Fuji for the day and we had the pleasure of having Chinami as our guide. Saw a lot of great parts of Lake Kawaguchiko and we appreciate her kindness and insight of the location. Thank you again.

“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

“Chinami is the BEST!!”
We had 2 half day tours with Chinami. She is so knowledgeable, loves this area, knows about all the culture and picks the best restaurants!! We did a sake brewery tour that is a must do! So fun, the sake guide was great and the sake was absolutely delicious! The Itchiku Kubota Art Museum was beautiful and explained the history of Itchiku Kubota and his art of creating kimono designs. We are a family of 4 from Texas and Chinami was so easy to allow us to change plans and decide our exact design of how we wanted our days to look. I can't express enough what a wonderful woman and human being Chinami is!

I love to visit you sometime and drink more with you!!!As I said, I have more tours to enjoy local alcohols. Please visit the area again in different season! Until then, take care and best wishes.
