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.

Tasting is believing.Why don't you try tasting Japanese wine?

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.

“Wonderful hiking experience on Mt Fuji”

We thoroughly enjoyed our hike up to the 5th station of Mt Fuji. Most people start from the 5th station but this hike through the forest offers a less-traveled look that includes remains of former mountain huts, amazing views and very few people. Chiami was an excellent guide: very knowledgeable and responsive, with thoughtful attention to detail and good command of English. We would definitely book another tour with her.

Chinami N.

Thank you so much for writing the review! I had worried about the snow in 5th station since Mt Fuji had the first snow this season and the toll road closed until we climb. However, the view was great and we could see lakes at the foot of Mt Fuji. Please take a look at the brochure I gave and hike another mountain to see Mt Fuji or climb it to the summit next time! Enjoy yourselves in Kumano trails, as well!!!

“Bat Cave and forest walk”

We had excellent weather. Since we had never been to the area before, we needed info to understand how to get to our meet up location, and our guide was helpful. Although there were no puddles in the cave, it was very wet. Visitors need to be prepared to go through areas with very low ceilings. The forest history was interesting. We didn't see any wildlife, not even birds. Our guide explained the layout of the area and provided info about how to see more of it.

Chinami N.

Thank you for writing the review. You were rush into local bus, so I didn't have enough time to say my appreciation. I chose bet cave this time of year, however, if you have more time or a chance to come the forest in other season, we could visit different caves and walk another trail. I hope you have good time while you are in Yokohama and Hiroshima.

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!
