I am a JMGA certified trekking guide, and also an International Mountain Leader (IML) certified by UIMLA. My moutaineering experience is over 20 years and I have climbed the most famous 100 mountains in Japan and the most famous 100 mountains in Yamanashi by myself while raising my children. Climbing mountains all over Japan, I felt that Japan is truly a beautiful country with abundant nature. In addition to moutain climing, you can enjoy the nearby hot spring and local cuisine. I will wholeheartedly guide you on my tours where you can enjoy not only mountains but also hot springs, delicious meals and Japanese culture and history!

What people are saying about Masa

SUZU

Simply, it was an amazing experience‼︎✨ The view turned into white with clouds and rain when we started hiking. It was gradually cleared while we were climbing. Mt. Fuji finally appeared as we reached the summit. We finally got to see Diamond Fuji. 🗻😁 It was hard to believe that it was snowing just a few days ago… Unusual warm weather helped us stay outside long enough for the observation. Hiking with MASA brings me a lot of miracles in my case.🙌 That is what makes me fun!

Dev

Masa was a great guide. She shared the history of Fuji and the surrounding area as well as guiding us on our climb. She was very patient and accomodating. She provided helpful tips the day prior to our climb which was very helpful. would recommend her to anyone thinking of climbing fuji in 1 day.

Climbed Mt. Fuji for the first time with my son who came all the way from Boston! We were blown away by the sea of clouds and the endless blue sky — absolutely breathtaking. But what made the experience truly amazing was our guide. From helping us pace ourselves and stay hydrated, to checking our condition at every stage, they were incredibly professional and reassuring. Plus, we learned so many fun facts about Japanese mountains and place names along the way. Safe, fun, unforgettable — huge thanks to Mt. Fuji and our amazing guide!

It was the first time for me to climb up Fuji to enjoy the view at the summit with her guide. Masa has enough experience to provide proper pace on each tour to make our team members feel comfortable.
