Mt Fuji hiking tour
Joined 2017
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.

“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 !

“Best tour guide ever”
We spent the day seeing the sites around Mt Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. Chinami would have to be the best guide we have had, ever. This was our fourth visit to Japan and the whole day went by smoothly. We adjusted our itinerary on the run due to overcrowding at some stops. Our group today consisted of 8, 4 adults and 4 children. Nothing was too hard. The restaurant Chinami chose was perfect, a small authentic Japanese restaurant that served large portions at very reasonable prices. The highlight for us was the sake brewery tour. Highly recommended this to anyone visiting this area. Thank you Chinami for an amazing day. If we are back in the area would have no hesitation in contacting you again.

Thank you very much for wonderful review. I feel sorry that you had to skip to the Ropeway and wind cave. (and carrying stuff you bought all day long...) However, you were so lucky to see Mt Fuji most of time on the day, which many travelers can't. I am considering a new tour for different alcohol, please join the tour as well as different scenery in Mt Fuji area! Thank you again and take care, everyone!

“Chinami san was wonderful”
Chinami San picked us up at our hotel in Kawaguchiko right on time. The weather was cloudy, slightly rainy, but pleasant so she changed our itinerary to accommodate the weather, took us to the Autumn Festival and craft fair and an amazing kimono museum. We ate lunch at a great place, rode the boat and saw beautiful scenery. She also so kindly took the time to check bus and train schedules and take us to Kawaguchiko Station and helped us get bus tickets to Mishima Station so we could connect to the shinkansen to Kyoto. She also helped two in our group to exchange their bus tickets back to Tokyo for an earlier bus. Her English is perfect too. Highly recommend!

Thank you vey much for the review. I am glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. I concerned about the weather and crowed because of Sunday. But we could avoid including lunch time, which was good. I appreciated your kindness and had great time with all of you. Please come back in different season and enjoy other part of Mt Fuji more next time . Keep in touch and enjoy yourselves in Kyoto!
