“Hakone one day with Yuki”
We are 81& 74 years old and spent a day in the Hakone region with Yuki. Excellent to communicate in English , Yuki planned to start early and avoid the crowds. Yuki was from the region and full of information we appreciated. We are vegan and vegetarian and Yuki had researched an excellent restaurant to accommodate our needs. We appreciated having Yuki join us at all the stops to facilitate easy navigation. He was sensitive to our limits and included stops we wanted to include. It was truly our best day in Japan that ended with a visit to the Picasso museum at the Hakone market! Thank you Yuki ! Five plus stars for a wonderful day spent in the Hakone region.

Thank you for choosing me Vijay. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the day in Hakone. The weather was great and we went through all you desired. Owakudani volcanic valley, pirate ship, Hakone shrine and wonderful local restaurant! Since we had a time until end, we additionally visited the Open Air Museum and it was really nice to go. Hopefully the day became an unforgettable day in your life. Safe travel back to home and see you again!

“Yuki provided an unforgettable day in Hakone ”
We had a very enjoyable day with Yuki. He has good, easy communication and was flexible with the plan when adjustments were needed for traffic and train schedules. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. This could not have happened by public transportation. We experienced a hidden gem temple that we would never have been able to see otherwise and amazing viewing spots of Mt Figi. At one point he was holding our two purses and still serving as cameraman. He is very good with photo taking! He also provided recommendations for our other days of travel. I highly recommend Yuki and would hire him again on our next return trip! Overall a very fun day.

“Excellent tour in Hakone!”
Yuki san took us to all important spots. He was very knowledgeable and flexible enough to accommodate our requests. If it had not been for Yuki san, we could not have covered everything in a day. His spoken English is also very good and there was no difficulty at all incommunicating. We came away happy and contented. I would recommend Yuki san to anyone who wants a sincere, knowledgeable and cooperative guide.
