Wonderful Hakone Tour by a Fantastic Guide

We were a group of 9 adults ranging from college aged to senior citizen. From the beginning, communication with Hiroshi was great. Meeting him in person was even more pleasant. He was patient with our group and so very accommodating. At our every request, he was so kind and polite. The epitome of Japanese hospitality. What really makes Hiroshi a 5 star guide is his willingness to take the initiative and go the extra mile. Not only did he help us get the Hakone pass, Hiroshi took it upon himself to provide us with the bus schedule & point out the correct bus stop for us to take the next day to Odawara Station to catch our train to Kyoto. We greatly appreciated this help as it helped us save 900 yen per person by using the Hakone pass on the correct transportation. We highly recommend Hiroshi and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Hiroshi S.

Thank you very much for your review. I am now very glad and relieved to know that you and your group enjoyed Hakone. To tell the truth, I was worried if I could manage a group of 9 only by myself. But that concern was completely unnecessary. All the members of your group were so polite and punctual. I also really enjoyed the Hakone tour with all of you. Thank you very much for your cooperation. One disappointment was that we did not make it to the Heiwa-no-Torii of Hakone Shrine because there was a long line to get there. But I believe you enjoyed the story of the dragon with nine heads passed down in the shrine and the shrine itself! I hope we can meet again in Japan in the near future! Hiroshi

Amazing experience

Our day tour to Kamakura was awesome Hiroshi our guide was excellent he helped us with our rail passes His knowledge and experience is great We felt like he was not our tour guide but our friend I would highly recommend the tour but more recommend Horoshi he was AWESOME Rhonda & Kerrie from Australia

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for your review. We enjoyed matcha tea with Japanese sweets, sake at lunch, the experience of the inside of Great Buddha, shopping at Komachi-dori Street, etc. Kamakura was full of students on school trips. If it had been a little less crowded, we might have been able to relax a little more. But I am happy to hear you enjoyed our tour to Kamakura. I am looking forward to the next tour with you! Hiroshi

Tokyo city

Hiroshi has been a marvellous tour guide and he gave us the best guidance throughout japan taking good care of me and my family. It’s been great spending time with him and I would look forward meeting him again in future

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for your review. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the tour in Tokyo. I also enjoyed the tour with you and your family. It was “Golden Week” when you visited Japan, so everywhere in Tokyo was crowded. However, I believe that you enjoyed the tour in Tokyo, picking strawberries, riding a rickshaw, etc. Please contact me the next time you come to Japan. I would like to make an itinerary while consulting with you to make the tour more enjoyable. Hiroshi

Full Day Tour of Beautiful Hakone

We really enjoyed our full day tour with Hiroshi. We met Hiroshi at the meeting point in the JR Station as we came by Shinkansen from Tokyo! Still raining in the morning, we visited the beautiful outdoor sculpture garden. We then went back on the train up the mountain to the funicular and ropeway to see the volcanic valley (sulphur coming out of the rocks), unfortunately we did not get any view of Mount Fuji due to the rain and the fog. However, we had lunch and ate the black egg, which was fun! After lunch we took the ropeway back down the mountain to the pirate ship that sails on lake Ashi. It was delightful and relaxing. The only unfortunate part of the day was going to this beautiful Onsen. We failed to make a private bath reservation as most of them are public. That was my fault as I needed to be more specific. All in all it was a fantastic day.

Hiroshi S.

Thank you for your review. It was a pity that the weather was not good on the day we went to Hakone. If it was sunny, I think we could see beautiful and majestic Mt. Fuji. We ate black eggs at Owakudani. I am sure that you have added 7 years to your life! I'm sorry that you couldn't get a private bath at Hakone's hot springs. I also regret that I should have asked in advance if you wanted a private bath or a public bath. I would appreciate it if you could come to Japan again and experience Japanese nature and culture.
