Hakone is one of the famous popular hot spring resorts in Japan, that is not far from Tokyo. You enjoy Hakone's beautiful nature including Lake Ashi, valleys and mountains. For your extended tour, it is possible to soak yourselves and relax in a natural hot spring bath "Onsen."

Exploring temples and Shrine in Kamakura
Kamakura is adorable with a lot of old temples and shrines. You can enjoy seeing old structures, gardens, flowers every season and strolling around the town in the countryside. It is located west of Tokyo and accessible by train only for 40 minutes. You can learn Japanese cultural aspects a lot there.
Afternoon Tokyo Food Tour
Entering a Japanese drinking place is quite a experience. You will be accompanied to one of popular Izakaya in Tokyo. They have reasonable tasty food and drinks. Before drinking, it is good to see nightlife in Shinjuku, and walk in Shibuya or Harajuku areas in the evening and enjoy window shopping. This is a customized tour. You can choose 2 or 3 sightseeing places and an restaurant area. In the example itinerary Shinjuku is mentioned, but you can go to another big town for dinner.
Excursion to Nikko World Heritage sites
Nikko, located 99miles north of Tokyo, is accessible from Asakusa by Tobu express SPACIA, taking 1 hour and 50 minutes. The town is famous for Toshogu Shrine, where the first Shogun of Edo period is enshrined. The structures with 5000 sculptures are fabulous to see. You can visit also his tomb on top of the hill. Toshogu, Rinnoji Temple, Daiyuin Shrine and Futarasan Shrine are all registered as UNESCO's World Heritage sites. Let's enjoy visiting them and walking to Narabi Jizo along Daiya river.

“Very pleasant and extremely helpful lady”
Yuka assisted us in our 3 days of sightseeing in Tokyo. She was very polite, gentle and extremely helpful in responding to our requests. The program she put together focused on the majority of the important to see places in Tokyo. It was a pleasure to spend time with her in our exploration of Tokyo.

“Wonderful 2 days with Yuka”
My family and I spent 2 days with Yuka exploring Tokyo and Hakone. We had hired a car as some members were elderly and unable to walk too far and Yuka was kind enough to come along with us. Having Yuka with us was great as she not only provided info on the sites we visited and was able to communicate on our behalf but also had some tips on which tickets to buy and suggested routes that avoided stairs etc. We also had some really lovely lunches at places we probably wouldn’t have been able to find on our own. We really enjoyed our time with Yuka and hope one day we might return to Tokyo and see her again.
