Meet your local guides

I have traveled to more than 50 countries and all 47 prefectures of Japan.

Today, I live in the Mt. Fuji area, a place I truly love, and work as a local guide.

With my experience as a traveler, I always try to see things from my guests’ point of view.

Today, you can find almost anything about Mt. Fuji online or with AI. But I believe the best travel experiences come from being there in person.

I create each tour around your interests, the weather, and the conditions on the day, suggesting the best places and routes along the way.

My goal is simple. I want to make your Mt. Fuji experience personal, flexible, and memorable.

I look forward to meeting you!

I’m Taiki, a local guide based in Yamanashi.

I was born in Fukuoka and spent many years living and working in the Tokyo area. After experiencing life in Australia, I moved to Yamanashi with my family and made the Mt. Fuji area our home.

I want my tours to feel less like a typical sightseeing tour and more like traveling around Mt. Fuji with a local friend.

I enjoy talking and having fun with my guests, sharing stories, discovering local places, and taking the time to enjoy each moment together.

My goal is simple. I want you to have a great day, feel comfortable, and enjoy Mt. Fuji as if you were traveling with a friend.

I fell in love with Mt. Fuji long before I became a guide.

I first came here for camping and gradually became fascinated by the mountains, lakes, and nature. I loved the area so much that I eventually decided to make it my home.

My passion for soccer sparked my interest in English, and studying in the UK gave me the chance to meet people from different cultures.

Now I get to combine those experiences by guiding people around Mt. Fuji.

I want my tours to feel less like a typical sightseeing tour and more like exploring Mt. Fuji with a local friend. Relaxed, flexible, and with plenty of good conversations.

My goal is simple. I want you to enjoy Mt. Fuji and leave Kawaguchiko with great memories of Japan.
