The tour started on a positive note with the guide arriving ahead of scheduled time. He could speak good English and we learnt more about the region as the Japanese way of living. We visited Lake Yamanaka, the ever popular Chureito Pagoda which has the Mount Fuji as its backdrop, Fujiyoshida Retro Shopping Street, Lake Kawaguchi, Oishi Park, Saito Iyashi no Nemba and finally West Lake (Saiko). We would definitely come back to Fuji a third time!

We loved every minute with Ryo. He’s very knowledgable, kind and nice. He also gave us options between different hikes we could choose of. So he’s very flexible and always up for another request. We definetly recommend him and would ask him again to be our guide.

Ryo and Forest Kraft Outdoors was such an incredible experience! We mentioned a few areas that we wanted to visit and he put together an itinerary for the entire day! This included visiting lakes, shrines, and hiking. It was a great way to see everything we wanted with an experienced, knowledgeable, and very kind tour guide. We highly recommend Forest Kraft Outdoors!

Great time with Ryo. He was very helpful offering multiple route options, was patient when we needed to slow down. Helped us find a coffee shop and grocery store. Our family would be happy to hike with him again!
