Great Day with Yuki at Mt. Fuji

It's hard to believe that anything could have made our trip to Mt. Fuji any better, but Yuki made that possible. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel, he was an excellent host, explaining the area, culture, and environment. The trek held an extremely rewarding view, and lunch was excellent. Thank you, Yuki, for a great day, and will connect with you again when we come back to hike to the top of Mt. Fuji!

Yuki is a real chill dude. He’s fun to talk to and provides a great outdoor experience in the areas around Fuji. Plus he knows where to go for the best Udon noodles ever made.
Go for it!

Our half a day tour with Yuki was among the highlights of our 3 weeks trip to Japan. Yuki is a true nature lover and took us to amazing places we would never get to see otherwise. We visited a Shinto shrine with 1200 year old trees, saw a lava cave and hiked to a viewpoint with breathtaking sights of Mt. Fuji, Jukai forest and the surrounding lakes. Yuki shared his knowledge in fluent English and a lot of kindness. We had an amazing time!
Great Tour!

This tour was a real highlight of our trip. Our guide made everything easy, picking us up right at our accommodation and taking us to spots we never would have found on our own. We learned a ton about Mt. Fuji, the local shrine, and Japanese culture in a way that felt relaxed and fun. The hike itself was beautiful with amazing views, and the lunch stop was such a great local place we’d never have discovered by ourselves. He even made sure we had drinks and snacks for the ride back, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, super well organized, personal, and memorable — we’d recommend this to anyone visiting the area. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great time around Mt. Fuji
