Mount Fuji

English

7 hrs 30 mins

Private tour (only you and Chinami N.)

Up to 4 people

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.

This tour involves a lot of walking, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes.

Prepare some cash with you.

I accept this tour from May ~ Oct when there is not much snow in the trail as well as local bus running.

Important message from the supplier

I can guide you in Shizuoka(Shimizu) and Nagano if you pay for my transportation fee (and accommodation depending on time a tour starts and where).

If you would like me to pick up in Tokyo, I have to ask you pick up fee as well.

I am available to guide only in Yamanashi and Mt Fuji from May to July.

Also, I have only customized tour in April because it might be hard to complete all sight seeing spots due to peak tourist season.

I am afraid that I will not pick you up outside Yamanashi such as Tokyo or Hakone.

However, I will give you advise how to get Mt Fuji or Yamanashi.

Walking in Aokigahara,the sea of trees, and exploring caves

“Bat Cave and forest walk”

We had excellent weather. Since we had never been to the area before, we needed info to understand how to get to our meet up location, and our guide was helpful. Although there were no puddles in the cave, it was very wet. Visitors need to be prepared to go through areas with very low ceilings. The forest history was interesting. We didn't see any wildlife, not even birds. Our guide explained the layout of the area and provided info about how to see more of it.

Thank you for writing the review. You were rush into local bus, so I didn't have enough time to say my appreciation. I chose bet cave this time of year, however, if you have more time or a chance to come the forest in other season, we could visit different caves and walk another trail. I hope you have good time while you are in Yokohama and Hiroshima.

Thank you for writing the review before I sent you thank you message. I am happy that you enjoyed the tour. Your family were so kind and friendly. I wonder you find any Naruto stuff in Fuji Q. Have a great time in Hokkaido, too!

“Emperial Palace, fish market, and Meiji Jingu Shrine”

Chinami was an excellent guide, very talkative and full of information, and flexible in choosing each site. She found a great sushi restaurant at the fish market and led us well through the subway routes to each place. My favorite site was walking the long gravel path to the Meiji-Jingu shrine through a forest of towering trees in the middle of the city. And she brought us home to our hotel at the end of a busy day.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I am glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. All of you were so kind and friendly, too. I feel still sorry that we couldn't make it to go to Aoyama and the bicycle shop. After I got home, I searched the cruise ship you are getting on. You were supported to come to Shimizu port, which I would guide sea excursion as I thought. If you are interested in another famous artist called, Utagawa (Ando) Hiroshige, Shimizu is a place to see his arts. I hope you come to see them near future. Von Voyage
