Kamakura Tour Reviews

Hakone & Lake Ashi Joyful 9 hour-Tour from Tokyo
“Great guide”
Unfortunately it rained the day of our tour but Yasuro made it enjoyable and was very friendly and knowledgeable
Yasuro C.
(72 reviews)Dear Steven K., Thank you very much for your kind review on me. But I’m sorry that I could not lead you to the hotel entrance at the end of the tour. How was Hakone today? I do hope you have succsessfully seen Mt. Fuji from Lake Ashi. Please take care of your selves as you are supposed to visit Kyoto and Osaka from tomorrow. Have a good day! Best regards, Yasuro
“Great day trip to Hakone”
Yasu guided us out of Tokyo, to the Hakone area. It was a great day out, and we were able to miss the Tokyo heat for a day. We saw the shrine, the lake, took the ride on a pirate ship, took the cable cars, and saw some tremendous scenery. We got one good look at Mt Fuji, before the clouds closed in. For me the best was the rope cars up through the mist, which was eerie and quite exciting, as well as to see and smell the sulphur mine! It was something unexpected and will last in our memory. Yasu was patient, kind, and adapted the tour to suit that day’s circumstances. We had three tours with Yasu, and he is a great guide. Please book him if you get a chance - it will be a highlight of your trip. We are so glad to have met and to have gotten to know Yasu. Thank you Yasu!

(72 reviews)Dear Mr & Mrs Guy B., Thank you for your kind review on me too. I will never foget the scene when the pirate ship appeared far from the foggy side of the lake and we knew that operation of the pirate ship and the ropeway had been resumed. Please take care of yourselves as your journey in Japan will be still going on. And I do hope your sixth grandchild will be borne safely. Thank you again. Best regards, Yasuro

6 Hour-Tour in Tokyo City-West Side around Shinjuku,Shibuya
“Had another wonderful trip with Yasu!”
I won’t say much other than we had a great day with Yasu. He is very patient with us, speaks excellent English, and has tremendous knowledge of the city. The day was again hot, and we slowed him down, but he proceeded with altering things to suit the day. We highly recommend Yasuro to anyone wanting to see the city and learn about its history and culture.
