Mount Fuji

English

8 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.

The tour is from May ~ November during which there is not much snow in 5th station.

Time to start the tour changes depending on timetable of local bus to the station.

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 ~ November 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.

“Great day in Tokyo with Chinami!”

We had an amazing time in Tokyo with Chinami. Since we were a group of 20 from a cruise ship, she helped us arrange a private bus, which made everything so much easier. We worked together on the itinerary, and the whole day went perfectly. She is very organized and professional. If you're visiting Tokyo, we highly recommend her services. Thank you, Chinami!

Chinami N.

Dear Andra I am so glad that you wrote such a wonderful review. It was rainy day and traffic jam on most roads. However, we could manage to visit places that you wanted in short time. we missed projection mapping, but I enjoyed myself listening your songs on the bus, too. Please come back to Japan near future. Now cherry blossoms in Tokyo are full of bloom. Stay in touch and I will take you more photo spots!!! PS I went to Tokyo just to have revolute sushi for you a week before your tour. Chinami

Visiting historic wineries and wine tasting

Yamanashi

“Local wines and historical background”

Chinami provided an excellent tour of local wineries as well as background on the history of wine-making in Japan and the production process. She met us and dropped us off at the train station, and the logistics were excellent. We truely enjoyed spending the day with her. We recommend any of her tours, and the wine tour especially for wine-lovers who like to taste unusual or up and coming wines.

Chinami N.

Thank you for the great review. I am happy that you enjoyed wines in Yamanashi. Have you drunk any bottle of wine you bought? Please tell me what your friends or family members who shared think. Now the association called Koshu of Japan goes to London to promote wines made in Japan. I hope you come to a festival in the area next time and nouveau or Koshu grapes itself. Good luck on your job and take care!
