【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!

5.00Yuki was such an amazing guide. Our hike up Mt. Ishiwari was so peaceful, culminated in a gorgeous overlook, and he graciously provided us something warm to drink while we rested. We chatted the whole way up and down, and lunch at the local udon restaurant was amazing. He was so accommodating, even dropping our group off at Shimoyoshida station so we could easily access the Chureito Pagoda, which was different from our pickup location. Finally, we asked for a dinner recommendation and it was SO GOOD. Yuki was incredibly responsive, kind, and welcoming to our group. Ask him how many countries he's visited! The answer really surprised me!!! Thank you again for being such a wonderful part of our trip to Japan!
Best Mt Fuji experience

5.00Yuki is truly an amazing tour guide, my friend and I had the best day! His passion and knowledge goes far above and beyond being a guide. Due to personal circumstances I was unable to complete the hike part of the tour. Without any issues or hesitation, Yuki was very flexible and adjusted the tour for the day, making sure we did not miss out on the Mt Fuji experience. We learnt so many things and had great conversations! I would strongly recommend Yuki’s tour to everyone. Thank you Yuki and we hope to see you again soon (:
Great way to see the area!

5.00Had such a great time hiking with Yuki and learning more about Japan. It felt like hiking with a friend and we highly highly recommend it. We were lucky enough to get a fully unobstructed view of Fujisan with no crowds. A perfect day. He is a very sweet guy and really knowledgeable about the hiking culture of Japan and the world too.
Fun and insightful

5.00Excellent 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!

5.00We 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!
