“She was the best part on our trip in Japan. ”

She is really professional and knows the area! First, she is from Fuji area. This is an amazing benefit of you and your family traveling to Japan and want to have unforgettable memories in Hakone area. Most of our guides' English was Ok. However, Chiharu's English was the best so far. This is very hard to find in Japan. Also, she mentioned that she has a farm here and organizes cooking class. I can't wait to come and visit this place too. Please don't hesitate to book her if you want to make your Hakone and Fuji visit special.
