Hideki was a wonderful guide. He was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgable. We really enjoyed our trip with a fun spirited and full energy guide. I would highly recommend him for a trip to Hakone.

*Please send a message BEFORE booking. Konnichiwa, and welcome to Tokyo! Hi there, I'm Hideki, a National Licensed English Speaking Tour Guide, and my goal is to help you have an unforgettable journey that works with your personal taste. I myself have traveled to 40 countries in the world and 46 prefectures (states or provinces) in Japan, so I fully understand how travelers feel, expectation and uncertainty. Tokyo is an exciting place. In the heart of Tokyo, you can experience both traditional and modern culture. On top of that, you can also experience new cultures popular among young people, such as anime, manga and KAWAII fashion. In the western part of Tokyo, you can enjoy the beauty of nature that will renew your perception of Tokyo. Tokyo is filled with things that will tickle your curiosity and excite you!! Before starting this job, I worked for a global company. After taking early retirement from the company, I studied abroad in the U. S. for a year and a half on my own accord. I understand different cultures and diversity. I am open minded, friendly and flexible. I'm looking forward to meeting you. I can customize my tours according to your needs. - National Licenced Tour Guide (English) No.EN04784 - TEFL Certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) at University of California San Diego - English Proficiency Test (EIKEN): Grade 1

*Please send a message BEFORE booking. What comes to mind when you think of "Hakone"? Volcanic landscapes, beautiful lake, shrines, museums, stunning views of Mt. Fuji. Hakone is filled with a lot of attractions. This tour is designed to provide first-time visitors to Hakone with a well-balanced and efficient one-day tour of the famous sights, using a car with a chauffeur. However, I can customize the tour to suit your interests and propose the best tour for you. *This tour is not suitable for those who have difficulty walking or use a cane or walking aids. *If you stay overnight in Hakone after the tour, the tour ends at the hotel at around 3:00 p.m.
Hideki was a wonderful guide. He was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgable. We really enjoyed our trip with a fun spirited and full energy guide. I would highly recommend him for a trip to Hakone.
We had a very enjoyable day away from hectic Tokyo with Hideki. He and our driver were right on time to begin our day. Hideki is very personable and knowledgeable. We had easy conversation on our long drive. Despite the Hakone Ropeway being closed for maintenance and Mt. Fuji shrouded in clouds, Hideki ensured that we were immersed in the culture and history of Hakone. Definitely recommend spending a day on this tour.
Our family spent the a half day in Tokyo & a full day to Hakone with Hideki! He responded promptly & worked with us on an itinerary. We felt at ease taking the trains around Tokyo. As for Hakone, the weather was not the best but Hideki made sure we had forever memories & photos. We will be returning to Japan! Definitely recommend any tours with Hideki!
We had a great day travelling from Tokyo to see Hakone area with Hideki. Even though we had pouring rain for most of the day and we couldn't see ol' Fuji San hiding in the clouds, we still enjoyed our day! We loved the sculpture park, trying the black eggs and the delicious lunch, which was in a beautiful traditional style building. My husband loved the last stop in the old samurai tea house and trying the different styles of mochi. Hideki showed us a nice day despite the less than spectacular weather. As incredible as it seems, the next day we actually ran into Hideki at the Senso-ji shrine in Asakusa. He was there guiding another family and in a city of 37 million people, somehow we noticed him in the crowds! Wow, what are the chances of that? We can highly recommend choosing Hideki to show you around Tokyo and beyond!
We had a great day with Hideki on our tour of Hakone. We visited several places, including the Hakone Air Museum (which we really enjoyed) and Lake Ashi cruise (great views), and our gyoza lunch (delicious). Hideki is a wonderful guide, he kept at our pace, he was very caring of our well being and comfort, and he provided very good knowledge. We will definitely recommend him to our friends for when they visit Japan.
We had a great day in Hakone with Hideki!! On the way from Tokyo to Hakone, he explained some of the history of the area and let us know what to expect. He was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The highlight of the day was the Open Air Museum! And, most importantly, he made the day fun for our family! I would recommend booking a tour with Hideki to anyone traveling to Japan!
