I can guide you in Shizuoka(Shimizu) and Nagano if you pay for my transportation fee (and accommodation depending on time a tour starts and where).
If you would like me to pick up in Tokyo, I have to ask you pick up fee as well.
I am available to guide only in Yamanashi and Mt Fuji from May to July.
Also, I have only customized tour in April because it might be hard to complete all sight seeing spots due to peak tourist season.
Guests must pay for transportation expenses and lunch (for guide as well)
Chinami guided us on a very nice tour through Yamanashi, where we visited several wineries. She went far beyond what we had expected in finding good wineries, both showing small local wineries, and finding the more high end larger producers. She also had extensive knowledge of the region and gave a lot of great information along the way. Thank you for making it a sunny day even though the rain was trying to drown us at times :-)
Thank you for joining the tour. I feel sorry that you had to change the plan to climb Mt Fuji. So I wanted to have something special memory in Yamanashi. I am so happy that you liked the tour and enjoyed tasting wines. I hope you to visit other area in Yamanashi since most people come only in Mt Fuji area. Let's go other wineries and try some sake next time! Chinami
We had a wonderful second day with Chinami enjoying a hike to view mt Fuji and the Aokigahara Forest! We enjoyed 2 days with Chinami touring the Mt Fuji area, we saw so much and she provided a lot of information and fun! Chinami went above and beyond for us - she is a fabulous guide!
We had to change a course a little because of rain yesterday, but I am sure you like waking in the forest and visiting the cave. Now I know you love spending time in forests, I would take you more and more hiking course and hiking trails next time. Thank you so much for joing the tours for two days! Take care and good luck Chinami
We had a wonderful first day exploring Mt Fuji with Chinami! She took us to the sites we wanted to see while providing information and fun on our tour! Chinami tailored the tour so we explored everything we wanted to and she provided information on other in Mt Fuji that we were curious about. Chinami arrived on time and is a fabulous tour guide!
Thank you very much for the review. I am so glad that you enjoyed the tour. The weather was not good so that you seem to have good time in Chureito and the Shrine. I am happy that you had eel in the restaurant for dinner. I hope you come back again near future.
We spent two days touring around the Mt Fuji area with Chinami. We had a very enjoyable time and were able to get many great photos of Mt Fuji and the cherry blossoms. It was very convenient to use her car as getting around is challenging with public transport. Could see way more spots this way. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend Chinami as a guide in the Mt Fuji area.
Thank you very much for the review. I am glad that you could good photos of Mt Fuji and cherry blossoms. It is much harder to go around without car, especially the weather is so changeable when you take pictures. I hope you come back to the area in different season, maybe fall in Japan to take another great photos. Thank you again and have a nice trip!
