5.00Chris was an excellent guide , very informative on the area and more. He was happy to answer all our questions and was considerate to our needs. We never felt hurried and were able to soak up the beautiful views and enjoy the forest walks. My husband took some great shots throughout the day. We were given lots of extra time and would recommend Chris to future travellers
Stunning Hidden wonders of Fuji

5.00Whatever I put here, will never be enough to describe what an amazing tour we have just had around Mount Fuji and its forests. A local Husband and wife team (Chris and Yumi) own and run Hidden Japan, today we were out with Yumi, her knowledge and the detail that she gave us was fantastic, from the princess of the flower blossom and goddess of Fuji to some of the most amazing views and hidden treasures, this is certainly a tour not to be missed.

5.00Chris gives such a fantastic tour of the Fugikawaguchiko area. He knew so much about the history, culture, and origin of the land, and took us to quiet spots that allowed us time to explore, take pictures, and enjoy the mysticism. I hope to come back again to Mt. Fuji and for another tour 😊
An unforgettable, almost magical, day with the best guide

5.00Chris curates a beautiful, informative, and flexible day to match your interests. He’s so genuine and kind, a day on Chris’s tour is more like a day of seeing the hometown of a friend through their eyes. While taking you off-the-beaten path, his love of the region, its nature, and its history shine through his keen storytelling and insights. The areas he kindly shared with us inspired and recharged our souls - he seems to know exactly what you need just by meeting you. Chris goes above and beyond, ensuring that our group of 6 were enthralled and comfortable throughout. Ultimately, our day with Chris was the highlight of our experience in Japan thus far. We can’t wait to come back to spend more time with Chris and to continue to learn about the prefecture from him.
Stunning views and learned so much.

5.00Chris was an amazing tour guide and went above and beyond to give us quite the experience. His knowledge of the area seemed endless. He took us to spots of My Fuji that were out of the way of the crowds you hear about. His energy and vibe matched our group perfectly and you couldn't ask for a better person for a tour around Fuji.

5.00A beautiful tour around the lakes surrounding Fujisan. Some amazing views and really felt like we got an insight into the local culture from Chris who has lived in the area for many years. A generous and warm character with a huge appreciation for the area and for nature in general.

5.00Fabulous trip with Chris who took us off the beaten track and gave us an insight into the local area and life in Japan that would not otherwise been possible. The remote bakery was a culinary highlight, make sure he takes you there.
