At your hotel in Tokyo

Owakudani Volcanic Valley ( You will see smoke of sulfur gas gushing out of the valley and probably see the full scale of Mt. Fuji)

Ending Point

What to Expect

Hakone and Lake Ashi is the most popular resort in Japan to which, they say, 20 million people visit a year because of its beautiful scenery, hot springs and easy access from Tokyo. It's worth trying to see Mt. Fuji. (Unless it's rainy or heavily cloudy, you will see the touching view of Mt. Fuji from Owakudani and Ashi Lake)

You will not walk so long time as every visiting spots are connected with trains, cable cars, rope-ways and pleasure boats in Hakone area.

Dear Rita Zaklis, Thank you very much for your kind comments on me. It was my pleasure to guide you in Tokyo City and Hakone; especially in Hakone, we were so lucky that we were able to see top of Mt. Fuji from the ropeway though it was cloudy. Please take care of your selves as you are travelling around Japan in the cruise ship. I'll do hope you will finish the tour in Japan without any problem. Thank you again. Best regards, Yasuro

“ Memorable day at Tokyo thanks to Yasuro ”

We did the 7 hour walking tour of Tokyo with Yasuro. Because we were first timers in Tokyo he took us to the main highlights of the city. We had a great time and he told us many interesting things and we learned a lot from him. We made some requests and changes during the tour and he was very patient with us and flexible. He really went out of his way to accommodate all our requests. Thank you Yasuro for making our stay in Tokyo memorable.

Dear Karen V., Thank you very much for your kind comments on me. It was cloudy in the morning, but changed to sunny day because of the power of Kannon, the goddess of mercy of Asakusa Temple.. I hope Kannon will protect all of you from evils during your voyage. Thank you again. Best regards, Yasuro

“ Just like having a friend show you around Tokyo ”

We spent 3 very pleasant days visiting Tokyo and Hakone with Yasuro. As first time visitors to Japan we were lucky to have him as our guide who went out of his way to help us get orientated. Knowledgeable, friendly and very thoughtful Yasuro is great company. and highly recommended. Thank you for 3 memorable days and a fabulous start to our trip to Japan. Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu Yasuro.

Dear Mr & Mrs Tony B, Thank you very much for your generous compliments on me. It was my pleasure to guide you for three days in Tokyo and Hakone & Lake Ashi. We were lucky enough that those three days were very fine and even Mt Fuji could be seen from the bullet train and Owakudani Valley on the third day. Please visit Japan again with your other family members. I always welcome you. Thank you again. Best regards, Yasuro
