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.

“A wonderful walk in a gorgeously mossy forest”
Chinami-san is a wonderful guide. Her communication before our tour was excellent. She is friendly, enthusiastic, informative and great company. She accommodated my request for a longer tour and then adapted our itinerary on the day based on the weather. It was a true delight to walk through the beautiful Aokigahara Forest with her, and the caves we visited were unlike anything I have seen. The highlight of the trip was our final stop, at Ryugu Cave. This was particularly special as Chinami-san said it was one of her favourite places in the forest. I can strongly recommend doing a guided tour with Chinami-san, and I hope to be able to walk with her again the next time I visit this area. どうもありがとうございます.

Thank you very much for such a wonderful review. I am so glad that you liked the tour. There are many other trains in the forest as you see the map I gave you and I could not explain enough about the history of Mt Fuji. So, lets walk more and hike to Ashiwada mountain next to see Mt Fuji! Have a nice Trip in Kofu and Minobu as well! Chinami

“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 !
