We spent the day with Yuki!! It was an absolutely incredible day and Yuki has a beautiful way of telling the stories of Mt.Fuji. He does a great job explaining the history of the mountain and the historical periods that led to the region as it is today. Despite all the questions that we had, he was patient and answered them all. His climbing and hiking experience is clear and he was 100% committed to us while on the tour. I would highly recommend Yuki to anybody wanting an experienced guide for Mt Fuji!!!
Pleasant experiance

I signed up for this tour because I didn't have the time or energy to climb all the way up to the top of Mt. Fuji. As a result, I am very satisfied! The scenery was breathtaking, and the path was relatively flat, making it very easy to walk. I was able to see majestic Mt. Fuji, and the guide, Yuki, explained the history of Mt. Fuji in detail, making it a wonderful memory. It was a tour where you could enjoy authentic Mt. Fuji, even though it was really easy to go!
