Hello! I’m Ikuko. I live in Kanagawa Pref., next to Tokyo. After graduating from an University, with a major in English literature, in Kyoto, I started my career in Tokyo. Working as a bilingual secretary, my non-Japanese colleagues made me notice how unique our culture was and finally I passed a National English Tour Guide-Interpreter exam in 2008. Now I'm working as a guide in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefectures. Tokyo is an amazing city where you can enjoy modern Japan, as well as the collaboration between something old and modern. Also, Kanagawa has fascinating sight seeing spots including Hakone, Kamakura, Enoshima and Yokohama. FYI, in southern part of Kanagawa, early-blooming cherry trees usually start blooming late January. In my free time, I enjoy Japanese embroidery, going hiking, Kintsugi fixing, and bamboo works. Incidentally, I'm happy to customize the tour upon your request and it's possible to modify the fixed tours as you like. Please click the tour and send me a message first!

Overview of your Hakone tour

If you want to feel the rich nature of Hakone even a little, why don't you enjoy walking on part of stone paved path of Tokaido Highway constructed in Edo Period ? After one-hour walking on the cedar trees' avenue, you'll arrive at Lake Ashi and move to the Hakone Detached Palace. At the Hakone Checkpoint, you'll see Hakone woodcraft of Yosegi with geometric patterns. In the afternoon, you'll move to Mt. Komagatake by a boat and go up the ropeway to enjoy the panoramic view of Sagami Bay, the Lake Ashi and Mt. Fuji in a fine day. To avoid misunderstanding, please make sure this ropeway doesn't carry you to Owakudani Valley and they don't sell black eggs. The tour ends at Hakone Yumoto Station.
