Hakone Cutomized Half-day Private Tour

Yumiko was an amazing tour guide. She taught us so much day and really customized our trip to suite our family (traveling with 3 grown kids, ages 17, 19, and 22). She really made Hakone one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. She was the best tour guide we've had anywhere! Highly recommend!

Wow! Yumiko went above and beyond to make our tour amazing!! She has such a sweet and friendly disposition and she kept us entertained all day including when we stood in line for the Hakone Ropeway. She pulled out origami paper and taught us how to make Mt. Fuji. We experienced tastes and treats that were unique to the area and we made the most of our time in Hakone with her guidance. We HIGHLY recommend her for tours of the area. She is full of historical knowledge and cultural transitions that help to make the visit very meaningful. She came prepared with maps, photos, and more!

Yumiko was a wonderful guide. She maximized our time together and enabled us to see more than we could ever have on our own. She is very knowledgeable and taught us a lot! Especially impressed with how she navigated crowds on a busy Sunday. Highly recommended. We thank you so much!!!

Yumiko was a fantastic tour guide . She was very well prepared with stories and materials to show. It was a great tour not only for the adults but the kids also. She has a very good attitude towards the kids which made them drawn towards her. Our kids are 6 and 9. They really loved her, her stories and even origami making when waiting for food at the restaurant. Strongly recommend her to anybody. Thank you

Yumiko was so kind and warm. She was informative and adaptable as well, when some long lines caused us to revise our itinerary. As she put it, "it's your tour". Additionally, it was so much easier to be with a local who could easily navigate without us having to think and translate. Thank you, Yumiko!

Yumiko was absolutely incredible! We had the best day together!!! The experience was easy and fun from start to finish. The communication before the tour was smooth and easy, she picked us up from our hotel and drove us around safely (on a snow storm day ha), spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable, fun, kind, friendly and super helpful, she went above and beyond! Yumiko knew the best spots to stop along the way, both for history, for the best views of Mt Fuji (away from the crowds) and for food. We spent an unforgettable day together and we have ONLY GREAT things to say about her! Look no further, if you’re looking to have the best Hakone private tour, she’s hands down the best local guide! Domo arigato, Yumiko! And we hope our paths cross again someday!
