Chris 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!).

The 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.

Chris gave us an amazing tour, and it was the highlight of our trip to Japan. He showed us some incredible views that I think are truly unforgettable. Chris was genuinely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the environment he lives in, and it showed in his enthusiasm and knowledge during the tour. We especially loved the lemon and ginger tea we had while sitting in front of Mount Fuji. It was truly an incredible experience.
