About Daichi
Hi, I’m Daichi!
Although originally from Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Pref, after travelling around Japan, I found my second home in Fujiyoshida, captivated by the stunning views of Mt. Fuji and the peaceful natural surroundings.
With my own car and flexible plans, I offer private tours that blend famous sights with hidden gems. Whether Fujiyoshida, Kawaguchiko, or Oshino, each trip is designed to give you an authentic and memorable Japanese experience.
On request, I can take you to local place rarely visited by tourists.
Look forward to welcoming you!

What I Strive for on Every Tour
I believe every tour should feel personal and fun. Whether we’re discovering a quiet pond in Oshino, tasting local dishes in Fujiyoshida, or enjoying outdoor adventures in Kawaguchiko, my goal is simple: to make your visit truly memorable.
Come along and let’s explore Fuji’s hidden gems!
What does KOKO mean?
KOKO Journey takes its name from two inspirations.
First, ‘KOKO’ in Japanese literally means ‘Here,’ reminding us to live fully in the present moment — the ‘Here’ in ‘Here and Now.’
Second, it draws from Kokopelli, the Native American spirit of joy, music, and storytelling, symbolizing creativity and curiosity.
Together, KOKO Journey embodies the idea of exploring life, learning, and the world around us with mindfulness, wonder, and a sense of adventure.
