About this experience

Meet Your Guides – Our Story
We’re an adventure-loving couple who enjoy hiking, canyoning, skiing, and camping together. After working as canyoning guides near Tokyo, we founded Fujiyama Canyoning Japan in 2024 at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Our goal is to share Japan’s beautiful nature through safe, small-group canyoning adventures.

‍♂️ Yuki (husband) – Born in Kochi Prefecture, Yuki has years of experience in canyoning, rock climbing, skiing and playing piano. A former competitive swimmer, he guides with calm confidence and a deep love for the outdoors.

️ Misa (wife)– Born in Kanagawa, Misa brings warmth and friendly energy to every tour. Her passion for nature and people makes each trip fun, safe, and unforgettable. She loves snowboarding, cooking, eating and mountaineering.

Original T-shirts (¥3,500, S–XXL, charcoal or olive) are available at the canyon. Pre-order by letting us know your preferred size and quantity.
