Hakone Private Tours

“ A Great Tour! 素晴らしいツアーでした！”

We recently toured Hakone and had a truly memorable experience, thanks to our exceptional guide, Kaneo-san. From the moment we met, his punctuality set the tone for a smooth and well-organized day. What made this tour stand out was Kaneo-san’s professionalism and deep knowledge of the region. His excellent English made communication effortless, allowing us to fully appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of each site. He brought Hakone to life with engaging stories and insightful context that added depth to every stop. Kaneo-san went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. He generously extended our tour to include the Open-Air Museum—an addition that wasn’t originally planned but turned out to be a highlight. His flexibility and genuine commitment to our enjoyment were truly appreciated. Overall, it was a fantastic day filled with stunning scenery, fascinating history, and thoughtful guidance. We highly recommend Kaneo-san to anyone seeking an enriching and enjoyable tour of Hakone.

Thank you for your long and good review. I think we were lucky to enjoy Hakone under the blue sky in spite of bad weather forecasting. It was a pity that we could not see a beautiful Mt. Fuji. But I hope you enjoyed Hakone fully. I also enjoyed an honor of spending a good time with you.

“Amazing day exploring Hakone!”

My teenage daughter and I had a wonderful time exploring Hakone with Yumiko. We ranked the tour as one of our top experiences in Japan. We were extra lucky to have clear views of Mt Fuji all day. It was lovely to chat with Yumiko about the area, Japanese culture and many other topics. She has a wonderful sense of humour. She was very organised and managed to get us around to see so many areas without feeling rushed. It took all the stress out of visiting the area and trying to plan an itinerary. I would definitely recommend touring with Yumiko around the Hakone and Gotemba areas.

Thank you so much for your kind words about my tour. I am the one who was very lucky to see Mt. Fuji clearly all day. Because my greatest pleasure is to make my guests happy. I put up some pictures of you on my tour page. Please check them! Let me say it again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining my tour. Wishing you very best of health and happiness.

“Go with Fumie!”

We had an excellent tour and great time with Fumie! The tour was well organized and timed out. We went from place to place without feeling rushed or having to stand around in lines. She went above and beyond for us several times throughout the day. She is clearly highly experienced, knowledgeable, and also she is fun to hang out with!
