About Tour Guide Chinami N.
Hello!My name is Chinami.
I have a national licence as a tour guide. I know well not only the nature of Mt Fuji area, but also history of Mt Fuji as a world cultural heritage site.I like to talk with people from all aver the world.So I want to have great time with you and enjoy local meals, wine, and so on.
Let's share a wonderful moment in Japan!
Important
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.

Visiting historic wineries and wine tasting
Wine in Japan? I know some people have never heard of Japanese wine and are proud of wine in their own countries.However, There is a famous place for wine in Japan next to Tokyo called Katsunuma in Yamanashi prefecture.Japanese wine makers have made effort to produce high quality wines for many years.Japanese wine have good reputation these days because it goes well with Japanese cuisine. Tasting is believing.Why don't you try tasting Japanese wine?

Hiking for the view of Mt Fuji and Aokigahara forest
Would you like to hike the mountain that has a good view of Mt Fuji? After walking the trail on the mountain, you see lake Saiko in Aokigahara forests, the sea of trees form the above. And you know the reason why it is called the sea of trees. I recommend the tour for nature lovers and people like hiking.

Mt Fuji hiking tour
We are going to hike from 1st station to 5th station on Yoshida trails. Climbing season over 5th of Mt Fuji is from July 1 ~ Sep10. However, you can hike from the first station to fifth station on Yoshida trails in most seasons. You see many plants along trails and see a few lakes if the weather is good. I recommend these people who come to Mt Fuji out of climbing season or who would like to experience not too hard climbing.

Thank you for writing the review before I sent you thank you message. I am happy that you enjoyed the tour. Your family were so kind and friendly. I wonder you find any Naruto stuff in Fuji Q. Have a great time in Hokkaido, too!

“Emperial Palace, fish market, and Meiji Jingu Shrine”
Chinami was an excellent guide, very talkative and full of information, and flexible in choosing each site. She found a great sushi restaurant at the fish market and led us well through the subway routes to each place. My favorite site was walking the long gravel path to the Meiji-Jingu shrine through a forest of towering trees in the middle of the city. And she brought us home to our hotel at the end of a busy day.
Chinami N.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I am glad to know that you enjoyed the tour. All of you were so kind and friendly, too. I feel still sorry that we couldn't make it to go to Aoyama and the bicycle shop. After I got home, I searched the cruise ship you are getting on. You were supported to come to Shimizu port, which I would guide sea excursion as I thought. If you are interested in another famous artist called, Utagawa (Ando) Hiroshige, Shimizu is a place to see his arts. I hope you come to see them near future. Von Voyage

“Do this if you want a fuss free holiday!”
From planning to the actual day, it was a breeze communicating with Chinami-san. She is very responsive and clear and I know she carefully and thoughtfully did the planning based on what we wanted to do. We visited the wind caves, motosu lake, did Muscat grape picking and some wineries for wine tasting. Chinami-san is knowledgeable about the history of the Mt Fuji area and is generous at sharing. We learnt a lot about local farms and fruits and forests. Highly recommend!
Chinami N.
Dear Ong family Thank you very much for the review! I have felt sorry about the tour because the weather was not good and we could not do the original plan. Also, the flowers in Motosu resort were not full of bloom either. Most area in Japan has had rain all September though... Anyway, I am happy now to know that you enjoyed the tour. Did you make Hoto noodles? Please come back to Mt Fuji area with your family to have local food, which we could not this time! PS The hand bite by my cat is much better now. Chinami

Midori N.
Hello, welcome to my page! My name is Midori which means GREEN in Japanese. You can call me Midori or Green. I grew up and have lived all my life in Yamanashi Prefecture where Mt. Fuji is and it is only 2 hours bus riding from Tokyo. In my spare time, I hike and play badminton. I also like spending time with my two cats in my free time. I became a National Licensed Tour Guide in 2014, but I started working as a guide mainly in 2023. I worked for an English conversation school in Japan for 23 years and was teaching English and also helping Japanese students to become better English speakers. I realize that teaching and guiding are similar because the essential thing in both is that I could entertain people and I can respond to their requests. When I was in my 20s, I visited many countries. There I had locals or other tourists help me a lot, which made my time unforgettable. Therefore, as a guide, I would really like to assist your trip so that you can have a blast without inconvenience in Japan. In addition, in my tour, I would like to talk about not only how beautiful Mt.Fuji is but also how historical and attractive it is. If you are interested in my tour, please feel free to contact me. You can choose my fixed tour or if you wish, I can customize and make a perfect itinerary based on your requests. Let’s make an awesome trip together at the foot of Mt. Fuji! I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

Born and bred in Tokyo I am still living in the suburbs of Tokyo. I spent several years in the U.S. and the UK and wanted to show international visitors around Japan in return for the hospitality I had received in foreign countries. After coming back from the UK, I obtained the qualification of the National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter. I can guide guests to every corner of Tokyo including areas off the beaten track. As a history fan I can tell you a historical episode behind the scenes. From a local perspective I can explain how we Japanese are getting along. Since I have science and technology backgrounds, I can give you a tour of scientific or technical things as well..
