Easy day trip from Tokyo and Yokohama area. If love hiking, it is must-try tour. The name "Takatori-yama" means "Hawk caught mountain" and dates to the Edo period (17th to 19th centuries). Everybody from kids to adults can enjoy fresh air and breath-taking views.
The elevation is not so high--about about 330 feet (100 meters) above sea level. Walking in the forest can relaxing. On a clear day, you can see Mt.Fuji and downtown Tokyo and Yokohama.

Hi. My name is Eiichi (Kaba) Kabaya and Iive in Yokosuka, Kanagawa for over 50 years. I've just retired last year but started new job at IT venture company. During my previous job, I had assignment in USA for 9 years. My iterests are photograph and walking as you can see in my photo.
I'd love to introduce all of Japan including my home town.
I can take you to all of famous places like Kamakura, Hakone and Tokyo.
But if you have already visited Japan a couple of times, you must contact with me.
I can introduce more specific tour for you based on your interest.
Looking forward to having you touch deeper Japan.

Eiichi was personable and informative, providing great insights into the history of the park and its significance in Japanese culture.

(3 reviews)Hi Nikhil. Thank you for your review. It was wonderful time for me, too. Hope you will have more pleasant time during your stay.
“Eiichi was a pleasure.”
Eiichi was very friendly and came well prepared for everything I had communicated to him that I wanted to see and do. His English is excellent and I never felt embarrassed to ask him to repeat or to repeat my questions. I HIGHLY recommend Eiichi to anyone, especially those English speakers, that want a private guide and are interested in Japanese culture.
