“Chinami is the BEST!!”
We had 2 half day tours with Chinami. She is so knowledgeable, loves this area, knows about all the culture and picks the best restaurants!! We did a sake brewery tour that is a must do! So fun, the sake guide was great and the sake was absolutely delicious! The Itchiku Kubota Art Museum was beautiful and explained the history of Itchiku Kubota and his art of creating kimono designs. We are a family of 4 from Texas and Chinami was so easy to allow us to change plans and decide our exact design of how we wanted our days to look. I can't express enough what a wonderful woman and human being Chinami is!

Thank you very much for the great review. You were also nice from the begging when we met. I had great time with you and was happy that your children went to Fuji Q after the tour. I love to visit you sometime and drink more with you!!!As I said, I have more tours to enjoy local alcohols. Please visit the area again in different season! Until then, take care and best wishes.

“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.
