Incredible Kayaking Experience for Newbies

5.00The experience kayaking around Fuji was incredible! Obviously Fuji is a major draw and is prominent, but the rest of the area is incredible as well! The pace was no issue and was kept conversational. CJ was a wonderful guide and I had a blast chatting with him as I soaked it all in. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend it!
The highlight of my stay in and around Tokyo

5.00I had the absolute highlight of my trip in and around Tokyo here at Naturabase. When I booked a few months ago, the team reached out to me to inform me i had booked a Japanese only kayak tour and accommodated by adjusting my time to one with an English guide. That's when I knew this place was top notch. And then there's my guide, CJ. This guy was phenomenal. The vibes were immaculate. And even though Mt Fuji was cloudy on the day of my tour, CJ was actually the highlight! We paddled and talked and he gave me a wonderful and informative tour with easy banter and lots of funny jokes. We even went to an island a little further from the normal route and both of us explored it for the first time. There was a lovely little shrine and gate on the island, and I'm sure if Mt Fuji was visible the views would have been spectacular! I cannot compliment the team enough. I got some great food recommendations for the rest of my stay, and great photos from our journey on the water. I would recommend you get your kayak or bike rentals from the team here. Absolutely great and will come back again, on a clear day and see Mt Fuji peak.
Highly recommended!

Fun amongst the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji

5.00Our family had a fantastic time kayaking amongst the beautiful scenery. We were lucky to have a clear view of Mt Fuji which made it extra special. Grahame was our guide and he was very welcoming and ensured we all had a great time. He shared lots of information which really helped us to appreciate the history and surrounding areas. We were provided warm waterproof trousers, jackets and boots so we were nice and warm. I would recommend to all, it’s very relaxing on the lake and suitable for children.
Amazing English speaking kayaking tour

5.00We were very lucky to be able to kayak during the first snow of the year at lake Kawaguchiko. The experience was surreal in its quietness and peacefulness. We didn’t get to see Mt Fuji during snow, but our guide Grahame brought positivity and helped us to appreciate its even more of a once in a lifetime experience to kayak on a snowy lake. Grahame was very professional, friendly, helpful, and talked us through many fun facts about Mt Fuji. To foreigners - ask for an English tour, it will be at a slightly higher price but definitely worth it. I would definitely recommend it to people who’d like some unique experience with Mt Fuji.
