This is a trip to see the highest and most beautiful mountain in Japan, Mount Fuji and one of five lakes surrounding Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi. Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano that last erupted from 1707 to 1708. At 3776m meters, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan and its top and gentle slopes are surrounded by rich and unspoiled nature. The mountain attracts many climbers during summer, while in winter its snow-covered top and slope gleam pure white in the sun.

“Amazing Tokyo Tour with Nao. ”
Nao was a fantastic guide. Prior to our your, Nao communicated very well, asking us what we would like to do, offering suggestions and even booking lunch around our interests. He was punctual, friendly and very knowledgeable. My husband and I were extremely happy with our tour and will definitely book him again when we return to Japan. His English and understanding were fantastic too, even including a golf shop at the end of the day that my husband was interested in! We highly recommended him to anyone who would love a great, well organised tour. Thank you so much again.

Dear Kylie san Thank you for your encouraging comment on my tour. I enjoyed travelling with you in Tokyo very much. You are very bright and refined lady. Tokyo is crowded at many places, which is not pleasant to your husband, but I was very pleased to see his smile on his face at golf shop. Please give my best regards to him. I hope you will return to Japan in the future. Nao

“1 day trip to Mt Fuji from Tokyo”
Would definitely recommend Nao to my close friends and family if they visit Tokyo. Spoke English really well. Having seen Mt fuji from Hakone before, I wanted to see Mt Fuji from the Lake Kawaguchi side so he made an itinerary for my family of 4- 2 adults and 2 children(15 & 13). Took all the thinking and stress out of the planning. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. He pre booked all our trains so traveling to and back was very easy.

Dear Vihar san Thank you for your kind comment on my tour. I enjoyed very much travelling with you and your family members to Mt Fuji. I was very lucky to know such a nice guy like you and a bright and refined lady like your wife. I am looking forward to seeing you again somewhere and sometime in the future. Nao

“This truly was our first day on our trip to Japan”
My experience visiting Hakone and Mt. Fuji with Nao was fantastic. From the moment we booked the tour until the end, Nao was incredibly prompt in his communications, providing helpful information well in advance and frequently checking in on us. The tour was extensive, and he guided us patiently throughout the day. Unlike other guides, his fee included all transportation, lunch, and entrance tickets, which we found very reasonable. Nao is a friendly person, and we genuinely enjoyed his company. Having a private guide was a key reason for booking this tour. Haruo was very responsive both before and during our trip, confirming the sites we wanted to see prior to our arrival. On the morning of the tour, we mistakenly confused our start time and Nao-san kindly left his home early to accommodate us. He picked us up at the train station near our accommodation, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you, Nao-san!

Dear Pranav san Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful comments on my tour. I enjoyed travelling with you very much and appreciated your kind and gentle personality. Travelling with you gave me many hints to improve my tour in the future and I am determined to make my tour more enjoyable and comfortable. I hope I can travel with you again in the near future. Thanks Nao

Hello everyone! I was born and raised in Kawagoe, a charming historic city located just next to Tokyo in Saitama Prefecture. Two years ago, I graduated from university here in Japan, and I now work as both a tour guide and a study abroad support advisor. Three years ago, I had the life-changing opportunity to study abroad in Vancouver, Canada. The warmth and hospitality of the locals left a deep impression on me. I discovered the joy of immersing myself in a new culture and way of life, and I truly came to appreciate the beauty of connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. Now, I want to be the one offering that kind of experience to others. As your guide, my goal is to make your journey in Japan truly special. Through GoWithGuide, I strive to go beyond typical sightseeing—I want to create meaningful opportunities for you to engage with Japan’s rich culture and traditions on a deeper level. I’m committed to providing a safe, thoughtful, and unforgettable experience for every guest. Let’s not just visit Japan—let’s feel Japan. Join me on this unique journey, and together, let’s discover the heart and soul of this incredible country. I look forward to meeting you soon! Depending on your tour and needs, my teammates Kei and Ethan may also join to help ensure the best experience.

I'm Yukiko Fujii. I'm a Licensed Tour Guide and a Registered Nurse. I've worked as a guide since 2015. Thanks to increasing repeat, referred and new clients, tour guide is my main job. I've done virtual experience on Amazon and company events during the last 3 years pandemic. Since I am one of a few guides who tried virtual tour in Tokyo during pandemic, it was a challenging, but it was definitely a great step and enhanced my guiding skills. I was born and raised in Tokyo. I am a mother so that I'd be glad to welcome families with young children as well. I used to teach Japanese cultures to elementary students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 at local and private elementary schools when I lived in Canada, United states, and New Zealand. My happiest moments with these children were when they look forward to another lesson every week. All lessons were customized and prepared after discussing with each classroom teacher. It was a challenging job, but this experience broaden my horizon and prompted me to become an English tour guide. I have a license of Registered Nurse and a Medical interpreter. I've still worked as a nurse during the off- tourism season so that I've kept a medical back ground. There are some common thinking between Tour guide and Nurse, both jobs are required to put myself into their shoes. I'll make plans considering their physical conditions and will arrange any supports after discussing about the tour. I've already experienced to do several tours for mobility challenged clients who have intractable disease and have a difficulty for a long walking. Mobility challenged customers (cane/wheelchair) are always welcomed. I'd love to make your trip meaningful and unforgettable. Please feel free to contact with me anytime. I'm looking forward to meeting you in my tour! Arigatou!

For example; Visit to various Universities, Visit to narrow streets in Tokyo, Visit to feel Edo (Now and Then) My hobby is playing the guitar. I hope we are in peace through music. I am also interested in Art, History and cooking. My major subject is economics and finance.
