Exploring Hakone

“tour of hakone”

Although we enjoyed seeing the highlights of Hakone - our guide did not add anything to the experience except to help us b navigate from one sight to another. I think touring Hakone does not need a guide and unfortunately our experience of a guided tour was expensive for simply having an experienced guide navigate for us but provide absolutely no input or information. a very expensive but no value tour.

Yuka S.

I don't think Hakone tour is no value tour. Unfortunately on that day, you didn't see Mt. Fuji due to the weather and you were not satisfied with the tour, but this is a customized tour so you can visit any place you like and most of my guests are happy to go around with me and listen to explanations of Hakone's geography and history.

“Yuma’s review”

The tour group was a family of 6 adults. We found Yuka to be very nice and informative for each area we visited. She was patience and helpful to explain Japan’s history. Each person thought very highly of her organization and research of specific issues questioned.

Yuka S.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm really happy you and everyone in your family enjoyed shopping and a Japanese garden as well as food. I'll remember your warm heart.

“Fabulous day trip to Kamakura !”

What a wonderful day!. Yuka shared her favorite hidden gems and behind the scene spots in and around Kamakura! She was able to quickly switch up the schedule to adjust for crowds of students on field trips! She provided a great balance of culture and history. A good mix of walking and public transportation and a perfect lunch spot! I was able to do and see so much more than if I was trying the same schedule on my own. I highly recommend her. She listened to my areas of interest and tailored the day accordingly! I was so pleased!

Yuka S.

Thank you for your good comment, Donna. I was excited to know your experiences of travel, love for Japan and interest. I hope you will enjoy Hakkaido.
