“Wonderful guide, great day in Hakone”
Yoshi was a wonderful guide. He was very prepared with a binder that helped explain certain historical aspects of our day. He helped us navigate the rope way and the bus, picked a great place for us to have lunch, took photos and ensured we had a wonderful day. We loved the Shinto shrine, the black egg experience and had beautiful views of Mt. Fuji. Yoshi is a pro with incredible style - wonderful guide! He usually does Tokyo tours and I’m glad he was willing to come to Hakone for the day.

Hi Jill, thank you for your kind message. It was a pleasure guiding you, and I really enjoyed seeing Mount Fuji after such a long time. I also experienced Hakone craft beer for the first time myself, and I look forward to incorporating that into my future tours. I hope you enjoy beautiful weather for the rest of your trip to Japan.

“Excellent Guide”
Yoshi S is a great guide! I enjoyed walking tour with him for 3 days. He is very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about Japanese life, history and religion. He speaks English very well and I recommend him for people of all ages. Even though he is a somewhat older gentleman he has a lot of energy and he walks faster than most people much younger. You won’t be disappointed if you hire him!

Hi Judy, thank you for your warm message. It is truly encouraging, as I intend to continue working as a guide as long as I am still able to walk well. It was an honor to meet you—a descendant of the Tokugawa shogunal family—and I thoroughly enjoyed the three days we spent together. Yoshi
