2 Days Kumano Kodo trekking, Japan

Hama was a great guide and made sure to take care of everything for the trip. He was helpful before, during, and after the trip by accommodating my requests and last minute change of plans, his communication was great and always remained in contact leading up to the trip. This was an adventure that I will remember the rest of my life and would certainly recommend anyone looking to climb Fuji to go with Hama!

**Review of My Climbing Experience** I recently went on a two-day climbing trip and wanted to share my experience. While I enjoyed the ascent, several aspects of the trip were frustrating and disappointing. Firstly, my shoes broke during the descent, which made the trip longer and more challenging than it should have been. I had mentioned my footwear to my guide before the climb, and he acknowledged it, yet his attitude changed significantly during our descent. Instead of being supportive, he seemed disappointed and rushed (said he got another client the next day and he has to leave home early), which was disheartening. When I asked to be dropped off at Kawaguchiko Station, he initially agreed but later said it was too far out of his way (again, due to he needs to ascent again the next day) . It felt like he was prioritizing his schedule over my safety and comfort, leaving me to navigate the descent on my own. This lack of commitment to his earlier promise was frustrating, especially since I had booked two days to enjoy the mountains at a relaxed pace. I believe that a guide should be patient and understanding, especially when unexpected issues arise. In the future, I would recommend looking for a guide who is more friendly and accommodating. While I appreciated the ascent, the overall experience could have been much better with a more supportive guide. I hope to find a more enjoyable experience on my next climbing adventure.

Hama was a wonderful guide. His explanations about the day, the information shared, knowledge of the mountain, thoughtfulness made it a perfect day! We could not have been happier!!! I would highly recommend Hama as a guide!

Very professional and cautious guide ! He brought us to the top for the sunrise cause we had perfect weather conditions ! A memory that we'll last forever ☺️

Just a wonderful experience with Hama.
