“Top-notch Temple Tour Guide”
We were delighted to spend the afternoon with Mr. Hideaki exploring the temple & surrounding garden during our layover at Narita. Hideaki was in good touch beforehand, knowledgeable during the sightseeing, & good company over a delicious sushi & grilled eel lunch. It’s well worth your time to take a break from Narita airport & see the cultural treasures so nearby. You’re in great hands with Hideaki.

“ A Truly Unforgettable Day in Hakone”
From the moment we met Hideaki, we knew we were in for a special day. We appreciated his knowledge of the area and his considerations of our interests, fitting in a wonderful visit to the Hydrangea gardens and a delicious lunch! He was really flexible with changes to our booking and made the process of catching trains and buying tickets much easier. We loved the breathtaking ropeway ride over the volcanic Owakudani Valley, and the boat trip on the lake. We loved the connection to Evangelion!!! Lunch was a highlight — a local restaurant tucked away from the tourist paths, with the most delicious curry. Throughout the day, we never felt rushed. Hideaki was patient and looked after us— adjusting the pace to suit our needs, making sure we were comfortable and engaged. It was a very hot day and my husband became unwell, causing us to cancel our plans the next day but we hope to return to Japan and we would use Hideaki again.

Naritasan Shinshoji temple before your flight
If you have more than 4 hours before your flight at Narita airport, you should visit Naritasan Shinshoji temple, and experience Japanese culture. It's a time-honored temple with a history of over 1000 years. In my opinion, it's the best temple in Tokyo region with great traditional buildings, beautiful Japanese gardens and Japanese food.
