“Polite and attentive ”
In spite of the unexpected bad weather of cold rain and wind, Takao did his best to provide convenient transportation and take us to most of the organized list of sights planned. He was very polite and attentive.

(13 reviews)Hi, Theodore and Liubou. Thank you for your nice review. I didn’t expect to get such a kind and warm words. Yes, it was a challenging day. We were in the clouds and fogs and nothing was visible. I didn’t realize we were past Amasake Chaya Tea House. I kept searching for words to explain things although I was able to see nothing around. Mr. Fuji took a day off and did not show her face. I really enjoyed talking with you. That helped me to change difficulties into happy memories. I’m happy I was able to see you from the country of Cyprus which I would have never had a chance to have connections in my life without you. Have a nice trip in Japan. Best regards, Takao Mizushima
“Wonderful Day , with Takao!!”
Takao made everything easy for us. He communicated beautifully before we even met him. We saw everything that you need to see in Hakone. He anticipated our needs finding elevators to avoid some steps when we were tired.. I would not hesitate to hire him. He was a joy!

(13 reviews)Hi, Larry and Ellen. Thank you for taking time to write a review for me although you’re tired after today’s tour. What a review! It sounds warm to me like today’s sunshine. Larry, you’re a master of jokes. I’d like to be a man like you who can make everyone happy. Ellen, thank you for showing respect to Japanese culture. The god of Hakone Shrine is pleased when he saw you bow even on your way back when you come under the shrine gates. Please keep traveling around the world. I want to try Turkish bath myself. Kyoto cherry blossoms, please welcome warmly these open-minded travelers. Best regards,
“Hakone Outdoor Museum”
Takao was very helpful in getting us from one place to another using the buses, ropeway and train. Our first stop was the Outdoor Museum which was wonderful, even in the rain. Our visit to the Amazake-chaya Teahouse was better than I imagined and the marquetry shop was a highlight. Takao’s English needs improvement but we managed.

(13 reviews)Hi, Genevieve. Thank you for your review and I deeply apologize for my shortcomings. I’m sorry we were not able to visit Narukawa Museum. When I talked with you at lunch time, we were going to visit both the museum and Amasake Tea House although it would be in a short time. But later I thought visiting a museum for a short time is meaningless and it would be too dark to see anything when we visit the old garden near the marquetry shop. I couldn’t help skipping the museum. I’m also sorry that I wasn’t able to book a taxi from Hakone Open-Air Museum to Sounzan Station. I made a telephone call a few days before the tour, but it was too late and all the taxies were occupied and none left. I’m sorry too that I told you that you could use detergent to wash your marquetry trays. The staff lady actually said that in Japanese you can use senzai, which means detergent. However, when I looked at the brochure provided by the shop, I found that you cannot use the material and I warned you against the use through GoWithGuide message. I don’t know why, but there’s difference between the clerk’s words and the instruction in the brochure. I believe I can improve my English by speaking and listening to my guests. I’d be happy if I could have more guests and more chances to practice English! I appreciate Gene’s balance story of judo. Best regards, Takao Mizushima
