Hello, I am Masaharu, the national licensed English speaking tour guide. I was born and brought up in the suburb of Tokyo. After graduating from the university, I worked for a Japanese global logistics company where I had wonderful chances to stay overseas as an expatriate. I have stayed in London three times over fourteen years in total. A long time stay in London enabled me to interact with lots of people from diverse backgrounds and it highly broadened my horizons. Fortunately enough, I have so far visited 38 countries. The invaluable experience helped me deepen my view on a cross cultural comparison between Japan and overseas. Therefore, I am pleased to help you enjoy your stay in Tokyo as my return of the experience I was blessed with. Now, it is my utmost pleasure sharing your precious time with me and satisfying your interest to the best of my ability. How wonderful it is to see you excited! I love playing tennis, piano and travelling around Japan. It is my unforgettable memory that I spent much time waiting in a long queue to get a ticket for Wimbledon tennis tournament games over twenty times during my stay in London. As for travelling, I like visiting historical places and natural hot spring sites where I feel relaxed and also love to taste fabulous local specialty. I have a eighteen year old black & white cat named Jelly who was born and brought up in London. I brought him back to Japan. He took such a long journey with me all the way from London to Japan. He takes great delight in Japanese cuisine such as fresh tuna. Japan is a the pet friendly country. So, you can find plenty of pet cafes in the center of Tokyo like cat cafe, owl cafe, etc. Let's enjoy my tour together, featuring authentic Japanese history, interesting mixture of old and modern culture, natural beauty, unique coexistence of Shinto and Buddhism religion, and seasonal delicacy of Japanese cuisine. I am pleased to customize my tour flexibly according to your interest and request. If you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy city, I will be delighted to take you to off the beaten track places where you can feel utmost comfortable and relaxed. Should you have any inquiries about my tours, please feel free to ask me. I would love to see you soon! National Licenced Tour Guide-Interpreter (English) : Certificate No. EN00790 Itinerary Administration Manager Certificate I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle. I also can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Tokyo tour

Hakone provides you a wide variety of attractions such as a panoramic view of diverse mountains, volcanic activity at Oowakudani Valley, beautiful Lake Ashi, historic Hakone Check Point Museum and awesome Hakone Shrine. I am sure you can enjoy a panoramic mountain view from the train, especially the steepest angle climbing tour in Japan. You take a ropeway on the way to the highest point, Oowakudani giving you strong smell of sulfur! Why don't you taste a black egg boiled in sulfur water and enjoy an energetic volcano activity of Hakone Mountain. No less exciting is a pirate ship cruising between Hakone town or Moto Hakone port and Togendai port. You may be able to view stunning Mt Fuji at the lakeside or Owakudani Valey, if you are lucky! There is high chance in winter. Let's take a break, viewing the lake scenery and visit Hakone Old Check Point Museum or/and awesome Hakone shrine.
