Adventure in Hakone!

Kashima was a good guide. He met us at our hotel and took us to Hakone for the day. Climate did not agree with us, it poured rain for the entire day, and still Kashima was willing to take us to all the original places we had agreed. We had to cut it short because some places were closed because of the rain but Kashima was ver accesible and accommodating to what we wanted to do. The only thing was the language barrier, it was challenging but we realized that it happened with other guides too. Thank you for the effort Kashima!

Kashima H.

Liliana san, Thank you very much for your great review for me. On the tour day, there was so heavy rain and wind that caused the closing of Pirate cruising on Lake Asi and Ropeway. Therefore, we decided to change the itinerary. Even under such kind of bad weather and the closing of major tour spots, I am very much thankful for your group patience and pleasant conversation each other. Thanks, Kashima

It was a treat being shown the treasures of Himeji castle and the amazing views from Rokko mountain from someone who enjoys sharing them with us as much as we enjoyed seeing them! We had a lovely day!
