“Day trip Hakone ”
It was a miserable day, cloudy and rainy. We took a private tour with Hideaki. He is so kind, speaks very good English, and is incredibly smart. The tour was jaded by the weather but we were able to complete the loop and Hideaki was not just a good tour guide, but a thoughtful, kind, and conscientious one. Thank you!

“Wonderful day in Tokyo”
We have had a great day with Hideaki. Not only is he very knowledgeable but he is very pleasant company. He composed a tour for us a few weeks ago but because the sakura was not in full bloom yet in the intended location we visited Ueno Park instead, in which the blooming was a little better. Thank you very much for a lovely day! Suzy and Andy

Had a great day out with Hideaki everything was organised from hotel pick up drop off. Prices were excellent and well negotiated they included bullet trains cable car mini train boat ride around mt Fuji lake, and bus rides. We stopped for local lunch it was lovely then time at gift store. I love the fact the Hideaki had done excellent research and our day was planned exactly how we wanted and agreed upon. Prices were very reasonable as well. Excellent job Hideaki you made us feel safe comfortable and we had a fantastic day
