Konnichiwa and greetings from the land of the Rising Sun!! My name is Mitsuru and I do guided tours in pretty regions of Japan, especially around Fuji - Hakone - Izu National Park + Nagano state + HOKKAIDO - please see my multiple day Hokkaido tour! Since the pandemic, I moved to Kanagawa, next to Tokyo, but I still do tours there. Especially for those who will take my tours out of the capital. My most popular tours are road trips, so travelers can enjoy special places, not covered by conventional tours or by public transportation. I would like to encourage you to support smaller Japanese destinations outside of the big cities (out of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka)! As a travel enthusiast, I ended up in the tourism world and I love guiding people. I lived in QLD, Australia when I was young and have been to many places inside and outside of Japan and sometimes I meet my clients in their hometowns overseas! :) PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING ANY TOUR, as I might be in talks with others travellers for the same desired date. Japan is a long country with 47 states with different climates from Hokkaido in the north (my favorite) to subtropical Okinawa (my ancestors land) near Taiwan. I have also visited different Japanese regions with a motor home during the pandemic. Every region is unique and they differ a lot according to seasons. My favorites are: 1) Autumn (Oct-Dec) and 2) Spring (Mar-May). Summer (Jun-Aug) is the toughest due to high temperatures and humidity. Travels can change people.. I believe in a new tourism based on E's": Educational, Entertaining with respect to the Environment. I am looking forward to meeting you and show you some beautiful parts of Japan! :) PLEASE KINDLY NOTE: * Travel insurance is NOT included in any tour, please have one. * If you have any FOOD or MOBILITY restrictions pls advise me. * WALKING is well involved in the case of TOKYO (approx. 15-20K steps). THANK YOU for reading my profile, have a SAFE and HAPPY travels!

Let's experience Kamikochi’s crystal waters and spectacular alpine scenery all around. Green sprouts of spring (May to June), flowers in summer (July to August) and fall leaves (October) are the most popular seasons to visit the Park. As part of a National Park, access to Kamikochi is a bit hard due to the logistics and well controlled number of visitors. So it's important that you message me before booking this tour in order to align your plans with my schedule. I appreciate your cooperation for a smooth day trip. This tour is recommended for those who are travelling from Tokyo or Nagoya towards Central Japan. It might not be interesting to return to Tokyo on the same day.
ONE TRAIN RIDE FROM TOKYO: I will greet you at the platform of JR Matsumoto Sta. around 09:30 (please let me know your train and car numbers) OR at your hotel in Matsumoto. We will drive for 1 hour to get to the National Park's main entrance (parking lot). From there, we will take the Park’s official bus that will take us to our trailhead in 25 min. Once there, we will be visiting / viewing different ponds, marshlands, alpine flowers, mountain range on a hiking trail (light~moderate level). Please let me know a little about your travel plans and any restrictions (physical etc) you may have. We will finish the hike around 4pm and around 6pm ish back to Matsumoto Sta.
