Tour Important Information

I might change the order to visit depending on what time you arrive.

I need to reserve testing time for whiskey, therefore there are not available date when you book the tour.

Important message from the supplier

I can guide you in Shizuoka(Shimizu) and Nagano if you pay for my transportation fee (and accommodation depending on time a tour starts and where).

If you would like me to pick up in Tokyo, I have to ask you pick up fee as well.

I am available to guide only in Yamanashi and Mt Fuji from May to July.

Also, I have only customized tour in April because it might be hard to complete all sight seeing spots due to peak tourist season.

I am afraid that I will not pick you up outside Yamanashi such as Tokyo or Hakone.

However, I will give you advise how to get Mt Fuji or Yamanashi.

“Cloudy weather but still a very good experience.”

Chinami had been very professional during the trip. Despite the poor weather, we had to adjust our itinerary according to what make sense. She came well prepared and had recommended many places for our plan B. Having her made things very flexible. Its unfortunate that we did not manage to see Mount Fuji but the experience was still very wholesome and made our trip worth. Thank you Chinami!

Chinami N.

Thank you very much for wonderful review. It was rainy and we didn't have chance to see Mt Fuji at all. However, I am glad to know you enjoyed the tour. We have to change a lot because of the weather, so please come back again near future! I know more places that you can take a lot of nice photos. Say hello to all your family members!

Thank you very much for the review. You are the first guests who booked this my original tour. I enjoyed hiking myself, too since we could see beautiful Mt Fuji on the day. You like outdoor activity, so please come back to the area in different season. Good luck your work and take care! Chinami
