“Hakone Tour with Yuka ”
We really enjoyed our day with Yuka exploring Hakone’s highlights. Yuka was delightful to speak to, was very knowledgeable about the sights and did a great job of planning out the day so that we could see as much as possible in a short period. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your joining Hakone tour and nice comments. I had a good time with your beautiful children, your family. We had limited time and it was cloudy. It was amazing to see most of Mt. Fuji!
