Soul-Exploring Trip of Hase Temple, the Great Buddha and Sutra Copying in Kamakura
Joined 2017
Through copying sutra in Hasedera Temple, you get the serenity of mind and feel ready to explore the secret world of Buddhism. In the adjacent cave stand the statues of gods, each with the mission of having human desires achieved. At the top of a hill, Hase Kannon looks down mercifully upon you. Then, seven minutes' walk takes you to the imposing Great Buddha of Kamakura.

About Tour Guide Takao M.
Hi, I'm Takao. I like walking with my friends in the mountains, along rivers and beaches, and visiting historical places and museums. Usually, after enjoying these places, we take a dip in hot springs and drink beer.
As a guide, however, I'll take up places easy to walk around. I assume not many people from abroad are prepared for sweating activities.
If you like, though, I can modify my plan, connecting with a short hiking, hot bath and a drinking place.

(18 reviews)Hi, Tina. Thank you very much for your kind review! I’m very happy that I was able to show Mr. & Mrs. Linder around in Hakone. I loved them and Germany so much that I bought German beers the following day. They tasted excellent! Please say hello to Mr. and Mrs. Linder, thank you. Best regards, Takao Mizushima
“it was an amazing day in Hakone”
Takao took us around Hakone. He also gave us useful information during the trip. He also was kind to fulfill our request to find places that accommodate our requirements. The amazake was also very delicious! Takao also walked us to the hotel we are staying at in Hakone. Hakone overall was also nice. And as the song says "The Hakone Mountains are the steepest mountains in the world"!

(18 reviews)Hi, Mohammed and Hanah. Thank you for your nice review. I really enjoyed travelling with you. You were so considerate and sent your luggage to your hotel beforehand. You also told me that you were ready to go after lunch. Those things made our trip go so smoothly. I appreciate your kindness. I’m sure Mt. Fuji will smile at you today. Have a nice trip. Best regards, Takao Mizushima
