Beautiful Kawaguchiko - The best experience we had in Japan!
Chris was amazing! He accommodated our group on short notice and introduced us to the beautiful landscapes and locations that Japan has to offer. Looking at Mt. Fuji in all her glory was icing on the cake.
Follow his pace and let him do all the planning. You will not be disappointed!
Thank you for the great memories Chris!
We will be back for sure!

A real treat, great tour! - Had a perfect day! The tour was totally customizable from the start and went to a lot of places that aren’t necessarily touristy and I loved that. Felt like I got to see a lot more of the surrounding area and it left me wanting more. Our guide told us so many great stories about the Mt Fuji as well. Would absolutely recommend this tour.

Informative and Accommodating - My family and I are literally on the train ride back to Tokyo after spending the day with Chris. We all had such a wonderful experience! Great communication before we arrived and he was standing right outside the ticketing area when we arrived. I had previously climbed Mt Fuji 28 years ago and was a little bummed that this trip was just days before the official hiking season started and we would have to settle for just a tour in the area. Well this tour far exceeded my expectations pretty much from the onset. Chris took us away from the crowds and showed us so many amazing places that I know 99% of the tourists miss when visiting the area. We had my 14 month old granddaughter with us and he made sure we saw things to keep her interest. We even just chilled out in a wonderful grassy area so she could crawl around for a bit and she got to dip her toes in the lake. We were sad for it to end and Chris even walked us through the ticket gate to make sure we got to our train just in time. Check him out if planning a trip in the area!

The best forest bathing experience - I just wanted to add another review even though my companion on the trip has already commented!
Chris is the most amazing guy and nothing is too much trouble. He makes the experience a very personal one and I felt totally safe even walking over rocks . He has all the gear so there’s no need to pack your heavy boots and wet weather outfits . Although we didn’t actually see Fuji, it didn’t matter as we had the most wonderful experience with the surroundings including waterfalls and caves and we were even personally introduced to his favourite trees !
On a practical level he gave us the opportunity to stop and buy snacks if we wanted . In our case as it was a wet day we had a delicious hot chocolate drink made by a man with a small market stall . Also if you are worried about the lack of restrooms in the forests, never fear as there are plenty of opportunities to visit them when driving from one destination to another.
I wish I was back there now !

Unique and stunning Mt. Fuji tour - Chris was such an amazing tour guide! We got to see so many beautiful sights in the area that were off the beaten path. I definitely felt like it was more of a local experience than a lot of tours I've been on. Chris was really flexible with us and our needs and really personalized everything. Highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful memorable experience! - Chris was a wonderful tour guide who sincerely loves the beauty surrounding Mt. Fuji. He picked us up at our lodging and customized our tour. We spent nearly 6 hours exploring and learning about the forest, lakes, caves, and communities surrounding Mt. Fuji. We also stopped for snacks, a delicious authentic lunch, warm red wine, ice cream, and smoked fish on a stick. There were countless opportunities to relax or take amazing photos. Thank you Chris for providing myself and my 13 year old son with this memorable experience!

Very knowledgeable guide, sensitive and phenomenally well prepared - What can I say, Chris is the consummate guide. He’d thought of everything. Supplied us with comfy boots, great wet weather gear which meant the fact that it was raining just didn’t matter. He is incredibly knowledgeable and his passion for his subject really comes across. We felt totally safe with him even when he pushed us slightly out of our comfort zone. He is very respectful and tailored the trip to our pace and ability. We had such a fun day with him can’t recommend him highly enough. I feel like I’ve made a new friend.

Best day ever -Japan May 15th 2024 - This Mt. Fuji tour was the highlight of our Japan trip. The per person price was higher than we wanted to pay but we took a chance and it was worth every penny! This family of 5 adults would not hesitate to do it again. Chris made sure we had everything from proper footwear to snacks. We hiked and saw so many amazing sites. We ate lunch at a small local establishment and it felt like the tour was made just for us.

Beautiful and Majestic Tour - Chris provided a magical and scenic tour of the forests and lakes around Mt. Fuji. He shared insight about the land and culture as we journeyed through forests, shrines, waterfalls and trails. He also provided hiking shoes and a walking stick which made the experience even more enjoyable. He is a very personable and genuine guide. Would highly recommend Chris and this tour!!!
