Hello. My name is Eiichi and my nick name is Eddy. So, please call me Eddy because Eiichi is difficult for visitors to pronounce. I am a "National government licensed guide interpreter" certified by Japanese government. I offer private tours around Tokyo and I am flexible and open to customizing your tours. I was born and live in Chiba prefecture, which is next to Tokyo and I have worked in Tokyo for more than 20 years. My hobby is ceramic art, golf, and Zen meditation, and I like traveling and reading history books. Based on these experience and knowledge, I will introduce Japanese culture and history. I used to work as an engineer for one of major electronic manufacturers which exports communication systems and components to overseas. Through the job, I visited many countries including New Zealand where I fortunately stayed for four years with my family. I have found it fun to communicate with people in other countries. So, after my recent retirement, I started to work as a guide interpreter. I'm looking forward to meeting visitors who are interested in Japanese beautiful nature, unique culture, variety of foods or history. - National government licensed guide interpreter (English) (Cert No. EN01121) -Domestic travel business handling manager (Cert No. 03-53-1626) - Authorized domestic tour conductor

Enjoy Hakone hot spring resort from Tokyo
Overview of your Tokyo tour
Hakone is a popular sightseeing place near Mt. Fuji, about 100 km west from Tokyo. It is famous for hot springs and natural beauty. There are many spectacular spots created by massive volcanic activities some 3000 years ago. My favorite places to take travelers to are Lake Ashi and Oowakudani(Great boiling valley), because panoramic views from a ship on the lake are fantastic and amazing volcanic activity can be seen from a ropeway gondola. I will tell you all about the interesting history of how this volcanic area had been created. At some spots such as historical sites and souvenir shops, I will introduce the traditions in food, art and culture that only a local like me can tell you. We will take the Shinkansen bullet train which runs about 250 Km/h from Tokyo to Odawara that is an entrance town to Hakone. I would like you to enjoy the comfortable trip.
