Best Fuji Trip Ever - What an excellent tour. Yuki planned a wonderful itinerary and customized it to include my interests as well. The saiko lake and the hike were really awesome. In the short 1 hour hike, there were only 4 people, including us and we were blessed with beautiful fuji. Yuki was so friendly and funny, i had a great time exploring Fuji with him. He always made sure, we were on time without rushing. I could pull the whole thing on my pace. He planned everything, even he was super responsive over mails and watsapp. It was an hassle free experience.

A great day tour with Yuki!!! - Perfect day tour during our trip to mount fuji. We were already in the area and looking for someone to show us around locally rather than spending part of the day on the road from Tokyo. Yuki was a great guide and showed us areas normally not visited by tourists. It was a well-paced tour that was flexible in nature and accommodated our requests. We had lunch at a local udon restaurant that specialized in a local variation of the noodles. Probably one of the biggest highlights of our trip to Japan and we would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks Yuki!!!

What an excellent tour!!! - This was the perfect trip around the Mt. Fuji area. Yuki was a great guide and led us to some of the less visited areas away from the other tours and crowds. We got to see some beautiful landscape and waterfalls along with the historical shrines. Had lunch at a great local udon restaurant as well.

Authentic Experience Tour - We really had a fantastic day with Yuki seeing sites around Kawaguchiko. Due to his experience and extensive knowledge of the area he was able to take us to places a bit off the usual tourist route. His local knowledge was outstanding and he was able to answer our many questions about the areas we visited. His historical and cultural knowledge was both interesting and informative. Yuki took us to a restaurant for lunch which served the local specialty. His passion for the outdoors and love of nature was evident at all times during the tour. Yuki has an engaging and friendly personality and was very respectful at all times. We had a wonderful day with Yuki and would highly recommend any tour he provides.

Tour around Mt Fuji/suicide forest - Yuki is an excellent tour guide. I felt like I was able to have an authentic experience from a local and also have a lot of information provided about staying in Japan in general as well. Thanks Yuki!

Special place, special dude. - YUKI!! If we lived in Japan, you would be a friend. Yuki covers all the bases. Knowledgeable, delightful, and energetic with a calm, he will customize your visit with him depending on weather and your physical abilities. Mt. Fuji is completely jaw dropping and very complicated. Between its history and how quickly the physical weather can change, Yuki has got it down and will guide you seamlessly through a myriad of places… anyway you look at it, you will not be bored. The best thing is, he perks your imagination. Most physical places you visit, you see the sight… and your done. With Yuki as your guide it opens up a whole new curiosity chest of where you want to visit next! BTW, he does hiking tours and also teaches English to kids. This guy is indeed a not to be missed and a very special person to lead you to the beginning of a journey into to this very special mountain.

Fun and enjoyable Fuji tour - Yuki was an excellent guide. He was very friendly and informative and really helpful and accommodating. On this occasion we were unable to see Fuji because of the weather, but the tour was still enjoyable with the other places we went to and leaving about Fuji's history. Thank you!

Great hidden gems and views around Mt. Fuji area! - Overall, an amazing experience. Yuki knew exactly where to go for all the hidden gems, and scenic views of Mt. Fuji. He was also extremely knowledgeable and had answers to all of our questions (even the unrelated ones - Osaka vs Hiroshima style okonomiyaki). Highly recommend this excursion!
