Mountain Climb with Expert Guide
Japanese nature is very rich in the world. There lies number of high mountains, and about 70% of the land is covered with forest blessed with rain water.  Therefore, various wild animals and plants are living in the nature. In this tour, I will take you to an unknown quiet mountain which is difficult to go by yourself without a guide,  because we can have more chance to see wild animals in that kind of mountains.  Actually, I saw some animals already there such as badger, hare, woodpecker, deer and wild boar. However deep in the nature,  there runs local bus until the entrance of this mountain which is already about 1400m high,  and we'll hike on the gentle slope until the peak of 1593m. The trail is well-equipped having restrooms and without any dangerous parts,  so even beginners can climb it up easily.   When you will come to the peak of this mountain and view the landscape with countless mountains and valleys,  you can surely feel like standing in deep nature of this mother earth far from human world. And additionally,  we can also visit other attractive spots such as a big sacred waterfall, a huge historic shrine and so on. I can assert this tour is the best to experience Japanese mother nature deeply! Now let's explore the Japanese Nature with me! (^o^)b

Traverse outer rim of Hakone caldera and enjoy onsen
This hiking trail arouses your senses: you see Mt Fuji (weather permits) most of the time along the ridge hike; hear the birds among the native bamboo forests and the hissing sound from the live volcano 大涌谷 opposite the hiking trail; breathe in the fresh air along the trail. This is a hiking tour starting from Hakone Yumoto Station at 8am. You need to be fit to complete the hike. Total hike time is around 4.5-5 hours (about 8-9km). It’s strenuous if you don’t hike often. It takes about 1h to reach the first view point, then you will traverse along the ridge of the outer rim of the Hakone crater in around 3 hours (depending on the number of stops you need to take for photos and rest). It takes 30 min to go down to the lunch area. You are basically walking closer and closer to Mt Fuji, the view of which gets bigger towards the end of this hike. After hike, we have lunch at a local restaurant, and then go to a selected onsen to bathe and relax. Please note that the transportation, onsen and lunch fee are not included in this tour. We cannot guarantee the view of Mt Fuji, but generally it’s more visible earlier mornings. Tour fully customizable if it’s booked as private instance.

Hike in the Village of Mt Fuji Water
Japanese Nature is very rich in the world. There lives more than 90 thousand species of animals and plants including many endemic species. One of the reasons is because the land is blessed with a lot of water which is necessary for any living things due to rain especially in rainy season and typhoon season. So there're number of spots where water comes out from the ground in nature. Mount Fuji area is also no exception. There're many springs in its foot where tons of natural pure water always come out which is originally from the rain dropped on Mount Fuji. And the water makes a flow of river to go among traditional style houses down to waterfalls and rock valleys and also to rice fields used for agriculture. In this tour, we'll hike along the way of water flow in the village which has natural springs with pure water, and visit many interesting spots such as a big garden with old traditional houses, a local shrine and temple, a nature center where they display many wild plants decoratively etc. And I'll explain Japanese wildlife and people's life in countryside to understand Japanese nature deeply. As a nature guide, I assert this tour is very informative, not to mention enjoyable. You can also relax yourself when you see the view of Japanese village through easy hiking on the almost flat trail. Now let's enjoy it together! (^o^)b  
Prologue of Mt Fuji Climb
If you are planning to climb up Mt.Fuji, this tour is the must to join for your meaningful climb! Mt.Fuji is not only the highest mountain in Japan, but it's been worshipped as a sacred mountain for long years. The Mt.Fuji worship had developped uniquely enough to have its own believes and customs, and prevailed widely in Edo period, so that many worshippers came to climb it from all over Japan until about 100 years ago. And they visited shrines and sacred spots to pray and purify themselves before climbing it up as its believes and customs. Talking about the climb itself, it can be a boring mountain especially for experienced climbers except the splendid view from the top, because you can reach the summit easily as long as you keep lifting your legs up continuously on the rough trail. But if you deeply understand the Mt.Fuji worship in advance, your climbing experience can become as meaningful as the pilgrimage in old days. In this tour, we will visit several interesting spots in the foot area of Mt.Fuji where you can learn and experience the Mt.Fuji worship such as a hidden sacred cave and World Heritage Center and a huge historical shrine while hiking in the vast forest spreading out in the foot area. As a nature guide, I will show you totally different aspects of Mt.Fuji in this tour! Now let's go together with me! (^o^)v

まず、山梨県の富士川町道の駅に集合します。そこから10分ほど車で移動し、山里の畑で体験を行います。 ウッドデッキでコーヒー豆を炭で焙煎し、棚田と富士山を眺めながらゆったりMYコーヒーを飲むまでがこの体験です。   まずは 周囲にある小枝や枯草や松ぼっくり、木片など火付けに最適な材料を集めます。必要に応じて薪割もします。それらをウッドガスストーブで着火。そのあとでできる炭を使って豆の焙煎を開始。香ばしい香りとピチピチと豆の音を丁寧に聞きわけながら、20分から30分程で、深煎りから浅煎りまでの自分好みの豆の出来上がり。さあ そしたら ミルとドリップをしてコーヒーの出来上がり。クッキーなどの甘味をお供に、デッキに座ったり、畑の隅で富士山を見ながらだったり、ハンモックに揺られながらだったりとお気に入りの場所で風を感じながら炭火コーヒーを一杯いかが?  また 道具も手作りなので気に入れば家でも簡単に作れ、何回か繰り返すことで友人や家族にオリジナルコーヒーを喜んでもらえます。そんなスキルとDIYの面白さはお土産です。  激しい雨や強い風などの荒天の場合は、私の家で実施します。家は、手作りのログハウス。エネルギーもかなり自前のおもしろい家です。 一人足湯とのダブル体験も可能です。 公共交通機関で来る場合、甲府駅から身延線や山交バスが可能ですが、不便なので事前にご相談ください。開始日や開始時刻の変更も相談で可能です。お知らせください。
