5.00I chose this tour because of the great reviews and the ability to tailor the tour to my tastes. It ended up being a great choice! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and his passion for nature and calm presence reminded me a bit of Bob Ross. He took me to some good local eateries as well as a great view of Mount Fuji (We got lucky-pay attention to weather and time of year) and beautiful waterfalls and forests. It was difficult finding a tour including the Aokigahara Forest so this was a great find.
Amazing tour guide 🏔️ 🙏

5.00Chris was an amazing tour guide! He does indeed know the area like the back of his hand and took us all over town, showing us secret gems we never would have found on our own. He picked us up directly at the station after a long bus ride and took us to multiple shrines, a garden, Saiko Bird Forest Park (where he showed us how to get the birds to take seeds from our hands!), local caves, to Sugeez restaurant for super yummy burgers, and then helped us get to our hotel for the night. We greatly appreciated his commentary and willingness to share his knowledge and connections with us, which made the experience much more meaningful. We couldn't have imagined a better first day in the Mt. Fuji area. We highly recommend!
Magical Tour Experience!

5.00Chris' tour was phenomenal for me, my partner and 13 y.o. son. There's a reason that Chris is 'the best of the best' - his knowledge of the area, love of the outdoors and inviting personality made our day extra special. We learned so much about Mt Fuji and local customs. Chris had my 13 y.o enchanted from the moment we started our tour. I deeply wished we could have booked several days with Chris as his knowledge is vast AND deep. We visited several temples and shrines, cooled off with a lake swim, ate a delicious Ramen lunch, hiked to a beautiful waterfall with an incredible view of Fuji, and walked an incredible nature trail where we viewed the Dragon's mouth cave and old growth forest grown on a volcanic shelf. My words won't do the tour justice. Highly recommend.

5.00Chris was an amazing guide around Mt. Fuji! He made sure we had ample opportunity to fuel up at local eateries while taking us around to beautiful shrines, waterfalls, and lakes all while providing tons of interesting information about himself, the area, and the local culture. Very highly recommend if you don’t want to have to research the area yourself but want to see some epic sights all in the view of Fuji-San (if you’re lucky with the weather!).
Incredible experience

5.00The tour conducted by Chris has been incredible and the places he brought us to from the various forests to the lakes in the Mount Fuji area are just out of this world. We felt like we were entering into a new world at each stop. Chris has a certain calmness and exerts positive aura and energy as he shared about his knowledge and experience during the visit. We would like to thank Chris for spending a day with my family. Wishing Chris and his wife happiness and good health. Hope to visit again soon.
