“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!

(68 reviews)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!

“Mt Fuji Lake Kawaguchiko”
We were in Japan for two weeks and spent one of our favorite days with Chinami. When planning this day with her, I listed several sites we wanted to see in the Mt Fuji Five Lakes/Lake Kawaguchiko area. Thankfully she suggested we slow down and choose quality over quantity. We hiked up the Arakurayama Sengen Park and enjoyed a stunning view of Mt Fuji with the Chereito Pagoda in the foreground. Though cherry blossom season and November autumn are the best times to see Mt Fuji, a lovely fluffy collar of October clouds provided the perfect contrast to the brown top of the mountain. Next we went to the Itchiku Kontos Kimono Museum and private garden which was beyond fabulous. Photos are not allowed there to capture one of our favorite memories of Japan for our family and friends. We then stopped at a restaurant by the lake chosen by Chinami for hoto noodles, a local specialty of the Fuji Five Lakes region. We ended our day with visiting Oshino Hakkas and Oishi Park. Chinami was a lovely guide who was organized, knowledgeable about so many things (nature, history, art), enthusiastic about Japan and life, and very friendly. She knew how to comfortably pace the day and keep our interest. In retrospect, we would have stayed in the Lake Fuji area for one more day with her as our guide. Thank you, Chinami!

(68 reviews)Thank you very much for such a great review. I am grad to know that you enjoyed the tour even I made a big mistake for one of your member. We have had still humid climate and little chance to see Mt Fuji comparing average this time of the year. Autumn leaves just starts, however, they haven't changed colors yet either. Please come back to Mt Fuji area in different season and stay longer. You said you are interested in wines, so enjoy Japanese wine next time as well. Take care everyone and keep in touch. Chinami
“Amazing day!”
Chinami was very helpful and went above and beyond as a guide! She was considerate if there will be crowds or lines like at the ropeway, and the day went smoothly. She even was considerate about my weird and selfish wish going to Lawson. Chinami even helped us plan out how to get to our next destination! Honestly, I appreciate her so much! Thank you for today!
