“Amazing Mount Fuji Tour with Chinami!”
We had a fantastic day with Chinami in Shimizu and Mount Fuji! She was kind, professional, and very well-organized. The itinerary was perfectly timed, and she made sure we enjoyed every moment without feeling rushed. Chinami shared great insights and took us to beautiful spots with stunning views of Mount Fuji. We felt very well taken care of and truly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was foggy and we could not see much the view from the mountain. However, you seemed to enjoy the trail and history about Mt Fuji. I forgot giving you the brochure of Fujiyoshi city that says the festival, ritual and so on. So, please come back to Mt Fuji area again and climb the mountain to the summit next time! Take care and keep in touch!

Mt.Fuji 5th station, a short hike of Ochudo & Okuniwa
The Ochudo, also known as Middle Road, was a special trail for ascetic practitioners that circled Mt.Fuji at the level of the fifth station. The trail is adorned by beautiful flora such as Japanese larch, Rhododendron, and Lingonberry and offers a majestic view of Mt.Fuji. The trail continues to Okuniwa, as Inner Garden which used to be a lateral crater. As it is named, pine trees and volcanic rocks create artistic landscapes by all nature.
