My name is Hiroshi Yasuo, but Hiro is good enough to call me.
I used to live in abroad total 8 years and visited more than 30 countries for business and pleasure.
And through my experience of visiting all over Japan from Hokkaido to Okinawa, I am very knowledgeable about major tourist places. It means I can help you to make your visit to Japan a very enjoyable one. Also, I like Japanese history and it helps me to explain not only surface explanation of places, but also their background of stories or history of each place. Addition to that, I am very familiar with Japanese railway system. If you give me places you wish to visit, I can tell you the best way to reach those places.
As of Mar 2021, I got Wildness First Aid certification which means I have knowledge of how to treat under emergency situation. Addition to WFA, I understand importance of LNT( Leave No trace) philosophy. It means I respect nature and can help you how to conduct less stress tour for nature.
I understand my role is to make your tour more valuable and enjoyable one.
I hope I can see many people from all over the world.

“Fantastic tour of Hakone”
Hiro is an excellent tour guide! He designed a fantastic day trip visit to Hakone for our family of 8 and was highly communicative and organized both leading up to our tour date, as well as during our visit to Hakone. We got very lucky with stunning views of Mt. Fuji and appreciated Hiro's historical knowledge and Japanese cultural insights. I highly recommend booking your private tour with Hiro.
“Amazing Day in Hakone”
We loved our day with Hiroshi! He allowed us to plan a very specific itinerary of the 2 things we wanted to do in Hakone: Hike Mt. Kintoki and visit the Hakone Open Air museum. This required navigating and timing the trains and buses perfectly, which he easily did for us. Hiking with him was safe and fun and he shared great stories. Lunch at the top was a treat and resting our tired feet in the hot springs at the museum was an unexpected highlight. It was a stress free day in Hakone and we would love to travel with Hiroshi again.
