Tachikawa station/Guest's hotel
- We can arrange to meet either at the Tachikawa station or the guest's hotel, depending on their preference for public transportation or if they opt to rent a car.
Starting from kamihikawa toge we will hike Mount Daibosatsu, one of Japan's 100 famous mountains. Perfect for beginners, the trail offers manageable terrain and takes about 4-6 hours to complete. Enjoy panoramic views and learn about local nature and history from experienced guides. No prior hiking experience needed!
After completing the hike, we'll enjoy a delicious home-cooked lunch at the lodge, located at the trail's starting point, before departing by bus at 13:00.
No mountain excursion is truly fulfilled without indulging in the bliss of an onsen experience. After finishing our hike we'll relax our sore muscles in the soothing warmth of natural mineral-rich waters, a cherished tradition deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Beyond relaxation, onsen baths offer numerous health benefits, from relieving muscle tension and improving circulation to promoting overall well-being. Picture yourself unwinding amidst serene surroundings, enveloped in steam and surrounded by breathtaking mountain vistas—a tranquil retreat for both body and soul.
We'll take the bus back to Kai Yamato station then head back to Tokyo.

Hello! I'm Leandra, and I'm stoked to be your guide as we dive into Japan. With seven years under my belt living here, I've become your trusted source for all things related to exploring this amazing country. Whether it's navigating the bustling city streets or trekking through scenic nature trails, I've got you covered.
I have extensive experience guiding excursions through mountains, inner city hidden gems, underground music scenes, and scenic day trips in the vicinity of Tokyo. When I'm not guiding, you can catch me indulging in my hobbies of digging into Japanese history, hitting up local shrines, lacing up my running shoes for a jog, scouting out new restaurants, or hitting the trails for a hike.
Originally from sunny SoCal, my roots stretch back to both Japanese and Mexican heritage, with a sprinkle of samurai lineage thrown in for good measure.
So, if you're ready to dive into the real Japan, away from the tourist traps, join me for an adventure you won't soon forget. Let's do this!

“Great wonderful fun experience in Tokyo”
I had a wonderful experience with Leandra during our trip to Tokyo. She was incredibly kind, patience and attentive, especially when helping us navigate the elevators and getting us around the city with ease. She made sure we were comfortable every step of the way, offering clear explanations and insights into the places we visited. Her thoughtful approach and deep knowledge of Tokyo made the tour both enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend Leandra to anyone looking for a seamless and personalized experience in Tokyo!
“Hakone Tour”
Tour guide Leandra is well organised and highly professional while doing her job. Yesterday she came to my hotel at about 700am and took me to day tour of Hakone. She explained me the day schedule in sequence what she is covering in a tour. She bought my tickets beforehand to match the schedule. I am vegetarian and organised my special meal and I am highly thankful to her. She explained me about sites that I visited She is very calm and well mannered tour guide. I can commend her to other tourists to take her services without any hesitation. Tejinder Pal Singh
