Yamanashi Tour Reviews
“Two Day tour around Mt Fuji”
We spent two days touring around the Mt Fuji area with Chinami. We had a very enjoyable time and were able to get many great photos of Mt Fuji and the cherry blossoms. It was very convenient to use her car as getting around is challenging with public transport. Could see way more spots this way. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend Chinami as a guide in the Mt Fuji area.

(60 reviews)Thank you very much for the review. I am glad that you could good photos of Mt Fuji and cherry blossoms. It is much harder to go around without car, especially the weather is so changeable when you take pictures. I hope you come back to the area in different season, maybe fall in Japan to take another great photos. Thank you again and have a nice trip!
“Excellent Guide”
Chinami (Cindy) was wonderful. Explanations about the places we visited were great. English is very good. We basically asked to visit many places we had researched before visiting the area and deciding that Chinami would be the best choice. We are very happy that we made the investment of taking a guided tour Thank you again ありがとう Arigato

(60 reviews)Thank you very much for such a wonderful review. I am sorry that my reply was late. The weather was not great, however, we could visit five lakes and other places you are interested in. I appreciated that you agreed to hire a taxi. How about traveling by cruise ship? Take care of yourselves and keep in touch Chinami
“Wonderful day around Mt Fuji”
My two sons and I had a wonderful day exploring the nearby sites of Mt Fuji. Chinami was essential to the success of the trip. She picked a set of interesting sites to explore and was extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of the shrines and temples, the geography of the mountain, and good places to eat. Chinami kept a high tempo throughout the six plus hours we spent together and timed everything perfectly. Plus, she provided a lot of help with the logistics of travel from Tokyo. Overall a five star plus review.

(60 reviews)Thank you so much for the review. I am sorry that I couldn't make the tour you requested since it was the year end. However, I am so happy we could see mt Fuji beautifully and feel new year atmosphere in Japan. Also, you enjoyed carp sashimi with other local noodles. Please come to visit the area in different seasons and spend more. Take care and keep in touch. Chinami
