What people are saying about Yusuke
THEO
Matthew
Yusuke was an awesome guide. He has hiked Mt Fuji more than 500x. Since he knows the mountain so well and because he is really good at understanding the capabilities of the client, he set the perfect pace and we had an awesome experience.

We climbed Mount Fuji at the end of May (off season). Despite a majority of our party having no previous ice climbing experience, we were able to make it up to the summit and back, and had a fantastic experience. With years of experience guiding, Yusuke knew exactly what pace to set, and was a very stoic encouragement the whole way up. Highly recommend, especially for smaller parties.
Ross
While the initial comms with the guide was slow, pre trip comms, planning and the actual day was fabulous. We had flexibility to do what we wanted according to skill level and weather/snow conditions. Felt challenged but safe at the same time.
