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 are nature lover and want to go hiking in Hakone, why don't you walk on the old avenue of cedar trees constructed in Edo Period? To be more specific, after stopping by a couple of specific points in Hakone Town, you'll walk through about 7km's old path paved with small and sometimes big stones in serene atmosphere. It's a rough path, so wearing sneakers or mountain shoes is required. It is also nice to stop by the old tea house running more than 400 years there to take a rest with a drink and mochi, rice cake. The stones on the path are so slippery that this tour is not carried out if it rains or snows for your safety.
