Mt.Fuji & Lake Kawaguchi-ko
Joined 2020
Mt.Fuji is not the tallest mountain in Japan, but it symbolizes Japan. It is 3,776m high and an independent peak representing Japan.
From Shinjuku, you can take a special train to Mt Fuji. That is a 2-hour journey.
Because of the majestic beauty of its ridgeline, it has been alive as a source of various cultures since ancient times. We recommend enjoying the view of Mt. Fuji from the five lakes surrounding Mt. Fuji, such as Kawaguchiko or Yamanakako. You can enjoy Mt.Fuji without climbing.

“Excellent! Highly recommend!!”
⸻ We had a great experience with our tour guide in Japan. He was extremely patient, friendly, and accommodating throughout the trip. My family really liked him — he made us feel comfortable and supported at every step. What we really appreciated was how cooperative he was; we were able to openly discuss our plans, explore different options and alternatives, and adjust the itinerary to suit our needs. His local knowledge and flexibility made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Hi, Kiti I was happy to be able to join you on this two-day tour. It was a lovely sight to see you with your families. The cherry blossoms welcomed you. I'm sure you made lots of memories and inspired your children. Please come to Japan again. I look forward to seeing you. Thank you very much for your cooperation. Regards, Naoya USUDA

“Hakone great experience with Naoya san”
I had a great time with Mr Naoya. Despite the rain and wind we were still able to enjoy the Hakone trip. It was great to explore the mountains, learn about history and buy items.

Hi, Unfortunately, the weather was bad today, and we couldn't take the ropeway and sightseeing boat as planned. However, thanks to your cooperation, I was able to have a fun day. You were very interested in the Hakone checkpoint. You were able to learn about old Japan. I am very happy to be your guide. Please come to Japan again, I'll be waiting for you. Thank you very much.
