Hello, I'm Yumiko, a nationally licensed English-speaking tour guide. I was born and live in Yamanashi Prefecture, which is next to Tokyo and the home of Mt. Fuji. Yamanashi Prefecture is also famous for the largest amounts of produce of grapes and peaches in Japan. I love Mt. Fuji, grapes and peaches!! I look at and look up to Mt. Fuji every day. Mt. Fuji area is full of nature, beauty and history, and has a lot of places you must visit. Mt. Fuji was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 2013, which is officially named "Fujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspiration". The inscribed property consists of 25 sites which reflect the essence of Mt. Fuji's sacred and artistic landscape. In addition to these sites, there are many nice view spots, interesting museums, leisure facilities, and off-beaten spots in Mt. Fuji area. There are a lot of ways to enjoy yourself. Exploring the Aokigahara Forest and having a relaxing time at Lake Kawaguchiko is one of my favorite tours. Visiting Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine always gives me spiritual energy because of its sacred atmosphere. Cycling at Lake Kawaguchiko or Lake Yamanakako refreshes me. The view of Mt. Fuji from Arakurayama Sengen Park (Chureito Pagoda) is getting popular and famous. From the Fuji Five Lakes, you can enjoy the magnificent views of Mt. Fuji with the lake. From spring through autumn, you can go up to the 5th station by bus or taxi. If you would like to visit some off-beaten spots, I will be pleased to take you to my special places. I am also familiar with good restaurants and cafes in the area. I myself love to travel around the world, learn different cultures, find something interesting, eat local good food, and have wonderful experiences. So, I would really like you to fully enjoy your travel in Mt. Fuji area. I am ready to guide you around Mt. Fuji as your personal tour guide with cheerful and open mind. I will make your private tour enjoyable and memorable. Please feel free to send me an email. I look forward to your inquiry.

My 16 yo son and I had a wonderful day with Yumiko. She picked us up at the train station, and we used her private car. First was driving up to the 5th station, with a stop along the way for being on the slopes as well. At the 5th station we had Mt. Fuji Melon Bread, and Yumiko took us to the Shinto shrine, with some explanation of the tenets. After was lunch at a local restaurant for the regional specialty noodles, Hoto. Next, a tour of the Ice Cave. Then to Lake Kawaguchiko and to Oishi Park & Hana Terrace for the gardens, shopping, and interesting soft serve ice cream. After, another Shinto shrine. Along the way, she gave a running commentary and instruction in what we were seeing, as well as Japanese customs, traditions, basic phrases, and discussion of Shinto and Buddhism. I highly recommend Yumiko for anyone interested in the Fuji area.

The Mt Fuji and the Lakes Private Tour (7 hours) was very well customised by our tour guide Matsui Yumiko. Matsui Yumiko is a fountain of the area knowledge, her communications skills, ability to adapt to our needs and delivery was excellent. She is very passionate about what she does, demonstrated true asian hospitality.

My wife and I used Yumiko to tour the Mt Fuji area. Yumiko is amazing! She is personable, knowledgeable and extremely well prepared. Her communication skills via e-mail and oral are excellent. Yumiko is flexible and high energy. She assisted in preparing our itinerary which was helpful and on point. I would highly recommend using Yumiko if she is available.

Had fantastic all day private tour with Yumiko and my daughter. She customized the day trip after I had selected one of her other trips. She asked what we wanted to do, and she put it together. She knows secret spots that were amazing. She is full of knowledge and enjoys teaching us about Japan culture and food. We saw lakes, Cherry blossoms, shrines, ancient towns, 1200 year old trees, and many other memorable sites. Highest recommendation for Yumiko. I could not have found these sites without her. You need a local guide when in Hakone area. We will find her again when we return to Japan!! She can make any trip amazing. She is kind and patient and took lots of pictures for us.

We had a wonderful day visiting the Mt. Fuji / Lake Kawaguchi area with Yumiko. She was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the region. What we appreciated most was her flexibility — she was happy to take us to the places we wanted to see, even when some of them were in the opposite direction of the original route. She really tried her best to make sure our family had the experience we hoped for. Thanks to Yumiko, we were able to enjoy beautiful views of Mt. Fuji and explore the Lake Kawaguchi area comfortably without worrying about transportation or planning. It was a very pleasant and memorable tour. We highly recommend Yumiko to anyone visiting the Fuji area!
