About Tour Guide Takuma A.
Hi it’s Tak (just like “Tak talks”), and I’m a Tokyo city guide as well as a nature guide in Hinohara village aka Hinohara-mura in Tokyo
I lived in the U.S. for 10 years and graduated from University of Oregon. Taking people from different backgrounds around the metropolitan area and national park in Tokyo are some of the most fun things in my life, and yes Hinohara village is a part of the national park in Tokyo, an hour and a half from the central city of Tokyo!
I sometimes take my customers to places that are outside Tokyo, such as Nikko-Toshogu, Odawara, Atami, Hakone, etc.
I would love to share the historical context and how it related to the culture and our current lives with you all :)
Come to have a blast time with me by feeling seasonal peaks of Tokyo, culture, and warm hearted people in Japan!!!
Reviews
“Amazing adventure in Hinohara! ”
Myself and my husband were staying in Shinjuku in Tokyo for a week and wanted a day away from the busy city. For a short travel time away, Hinohara was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful! Tak was very friendly and took us to stunning waterfalls, mountain views, shrines, a local onsen and restaurant. All of this we would never have been able to find ourselves. The onsen was very relaxing after some refreshing waterfall meditation! The traditional restaurant we went to was also one our favourite places to eat for the whole holiday! Tak knew many of the local people which was helpful and his english was very good - he managed well with our awkward northern accents! I strongly recommend getting a local guide if you want to explore and develop understanding of Japanese culture and local life as well as just visiting the main tourist sites. I cannot emphasise enough how friendly and knowledgable Tak was. He really helped us to make such special memories and the most of our time during our short trip to the national park! We would love to explore more of the Japanese countryside and would definitely have Tak as our guide again. Thank you Tak!!

TOKYO Seasonal Peaks Discovery (Full-Day)
Full-day trip in Hinohara village will let you experience the oneness with Nature! Waterfall meditation is commonly practiced in natural settings, allowing individuals to connect with the powerful energy of waterfalls and the beauty of nature. The local onsen hot spring, flavors of the season at the old house cafe, and nature walk on the “forest therapy road” with your refreshed mind and body are also going to be your favorite! We’re ending up with one of the top one hundred waterfalls in Japan!
