Konnichiwa and greetings from the land of the Rising Sun!! My name is Mitsuru and I do guided tours in pretty regions of Japan, especially around Fuji - Hakone - Izu National Park + Nagano state + HOKKAIDO - please see my multiple day Hokkaido tour! Since the pandemic, I moved to Kanagawa, next to Tokyo, but I still do tours there. Especially for those who will take my tours out of the capital. My most popular tours are road trips, so travelers can enjoy special places, not covered by conventional tours or by public transportation. I would like to encourage you to support smaller Japanese destinations outside of the big cities (out of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka)! As a travel enthusiast, I ended up in the tourism world and I love guiding people. I lived in QLD, Australia when I was young and have been to many places inside and outside of Japan and sometimes I meet my clients in their hometowns overseas! :) PLEASE MESSAGE ME BEFORE BOOKING ANY TOUR, as I might be in talks with others travellers for the same desired date. Japan is a long country with 47 states with different climates from Hokkaido in the north (my favorite) to subtropical Okinawa (my ancestors land) near Taiwan. I have also visited different Japanese regions with a motor home during the pandemic. Every region is unique and they differ a lot according to seasons. My favorites are: 1) Autumn (Oct-Dec) and 2) Spring (Mar-May). Summer (Jun-Aug) is the toughest due to high temperatures and humidity. Travels can change people.. I believe in a new tourism based on E's": Educational, Entertaining with respect to the Environment. I am looking forward to meeting you and show you some beautiful parts of Japan! :) PLEASE KINDLY NOTE: * Travel insurance is NOT included in any tour, please have one. * If you have any FOOD or MOBILITY restrictions pls advise me. * WALKING is well involved in the case of TOKYO (approx. 15-20K steps). THANK YOU for reading my profile, have a SAFE and HAPPY travels!

Go nature, go Hakone! [private transportation + picnic included]
Overview of your Hakone tour
At the edge of Greater Tokyo and less than 100km from the metropolis, HAKONE is part of the so called Fuji - Hakone and Izu National Park and it's by far the most visited National Park. What to do and visit might be hard if you don't know the complex geography of the area and how to avoid the crowds. HAKONE is a famous destination to view Mt. FUJI (weather permitting). You can see the mountain from the famous Lake Ashi and from some off the beaten path sites, only known by locals and reachable by car. Hakone is a very mountainous area and it's considered a natural dividing line between East and West Japan. You will see and understand all that with your eyes. We can include a nice sightseeing cruise (30" min) to feel the tranquil atmosphere of Lake Ashi, a visit to a historical tea house managed by the 13th generation owner, light to moderate hikes that are like a natural therapy for your soul, an art museum or a beautiful garden (time permits) before returning to your hotel in Hakone or at Odawara Station.
Your Hakone tour itinerary
Full day tour of Hakone to see its main attractions and off the beaten sites as description. Pictures shown in this tour are examples of Hakone in 4 different seasons. We can stop for lunch (NOT included) OR your can opt for my picnic (FREE). The order of the places to be visited might differ as hotel location, traffic / lines, timing etc might interfere. I can manage the tour / logistics accordingly. You can request the typical popular, busy sites: Hakone Shrine, gondola ride (waiting time in line can be reach 1 hour on high season), Owakudani black eggs if you prefer.
