【The tour is suitable for the guests who stay around Lake Kawaguchiko,Lake Yamanakako and Fujiyoshida areas.】

This tour involves 3-3.5 hours hiking on the highest peak at Yamanakako area.

There are more than 400 stairs at the beginning of the hike and we need to climb up steep and narrow hill at the last 30 minutes.

You need to be fit to get to the top!

We can enjoy the great view of Mt.Fuji and Lake Yamanakako from there after the adventure:)

The highlight of the tour isn't only the scenery.

There is Ishiwari-shrine at the 8th station which has a large rock and people said it is the stage of the Japanese mythology called”Ama-no-Iwato”.

The rock is so cracked that one person can barely pass through and If you can walk through it three times clockwise, it is said that it will bring you a good luck!

We'll have lunch at local Udon noodle restaurant after the hiking.

The guide takes you to the best place.

Let's enjoy authentic Japanese food there!

Excellent hike with a knowledgeable and personable guide who speaks English very well. He matches the hike to the weather conditions and your fitness level so no pressure to do a difficult climb unless you want to. Took us up to a spot with very few other tourists! Boots and poles are provided. Pick up and drop off at the hotel. Also lunch at a popular restaurant for delicious udon. There’s no way we could have gone there by ourselves as no English menus and no English spoken. Eat like a local! Mr Fuji was perfectly visible that day too! Just a wonderful experience; beautiful photos, great memories, truly lovely. Thank you Yuki san!

We had a wonderful time hiking with Yuki to see Mt. Fuji. He was incredibly friendly, funny, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He brought things to the hike that were helpful in the rainy season (trekking poles and rain jackets), made great conversation, and took us to a beautiful Shinto shrine along the way. He also had great lunch recommendations and is very knowledgeable about other places to get outdoors in Japan. Highly recommend!
Great guide, fun hike!

Yuki was our tour guide for a hiking trip to view mt Fuji with my family of 4. We did a moderately challenging hike which lasted nearly 3 hours. Yuki was an incredible guide who was patient, kind and very knowledgeable about the area. He chatted with us throughout the journey and shared great insights about Japanese culture, the mt Fuji area and customs. He was also very helpful when my daughter and I both slipped and got a little scraped up. He pulled out his medical kit and got us all patched up. My family and I have done many hikes over the years but never a hike with a guide and we loved it! We would definitely do it again. And Yuki was fantastic! We highly recommend him.
Enjoy Mt. Fuji with Yuuki!
