Amazing fall hike in Mt. Fuji area - Had 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.

Excellent hike with a knowledgeable and personable guide - 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!

A wonderful hike and a friendly guide - 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!

A challenging hike with an incredible guide - 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.
