In the beautiful Yatsugatake mountain range, hiking through dense forests all the way to the mesmerizing Yatsugatake summit is a truly magical experience. I cordially invite you to ascend to the top of this rock titan with me, your trusted guide.
Bask in the stunning views of the peaks that make up this majestic range. Thanks to its unique location, we can enjoy the expanisve panoramic vistas of Mt. Fuji and the Japan Alps from the ridge—truly a sight to behold.
Spending a cozy night in a charming mountain hut enhances the adventure, providing a serene and restful escape after a day of trekking.

Trekking Guide
I'm a JMGA certified hiking and ski guide and UIMLA mountain leader. I've traveled more than 50 countries as tour guide of trekking, skiing, cycling tour. I've visited overseas mountains such as Europe Alps, Canadian Rockies, New Zealand, Patagonia. I stayed in Zermatt, Switzerland for 4 years as trekking and skiing guide.
Even I traveled many countries, I also love to walk and ski the beautiful mountains in Japan. We have distinct four seasons, volcanos, hot springs in our mountain areas.
My favorite mountain area is the North Japan Alps, Mt. Fuji and Yatsugatake mountains. Of course sake and tasty Japanese food too!
I hope you to enjoy the nature, culture and communication with Japanese people during your stay in Japan. Looking forward to enjoying Japanese mountains with you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our hike with Yuichi. Waking up to sunrise on top of the Mountain was amazing, the hut was truly authentic and the people were very attentive. Yuichi was a brilliant guide, he shared facts and stories and was extremely encouraging! Thankyou so much Yuichi!

it was great overall, the communication and process , just wished the guide wouldve made it more memorable by being more interactive,, it was a solo trip for me so it wouldve been cool if he took random videos or snap shots of me doing the hike.. afterall its a once in a lifetime type of thing for us not from Japan to do this... but other than that great guide.
