Hi, I'm Tony. Yokoso (welcome) to Japan, where I have lived for a decade. I specialize in walking and hiking tours of the Hakone region, a beautiful, geologically active, national park also including Mount Fuji. Originally a forester by profession, you will see some of my tours involve light trekking. As we walk, I like to help you experience our wild flora and fauna. Our region is tectonically active and includes Izu Geopark, Hakone Geopark, and of course Japan's iconic active volcano Mount Fuji. Enjoy learning about this active earth. Japanese history is a personal interest as I find a little appreciation of it helps in understanding today's Japan and its unique people. Experience Hakone region's pivotal role in Japan's history over the last 5 centuries (starting from Clavell's "Shogun") and local cultural activities. I live in Atami, a cute seaside hot spring resort just 45 minutes from Tokyo station by bullet train, and close to Hakone. Born in Fiji and educated in New Zealand, I have worked in tourism for nearly 3 decades all around Asia/Pacific. I decided to settle in Atami because this region is the most picturesque and interesting place I have experienced. As well as guiding tours I consult to the Shizuoka Prefectural Government on local tourism development, which has given me lots of ideas for experiences that enable you to touch grass-roots Japan. Your participation in these programs will also enrich our local rural communities. Booking my tours on this TBL platform confirms your agreement to your travel contract being INTERNET based as per Japan Travel Law. Just saying that, to keep your experience authentically Japanese, I don't take tips, but thanks anyway for your concern. Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level 1 (highest) Pass Japanese Law prohibits guides from driving, so many of my tours use our excellent public transport system, often including Japan's iconic bullet train zooming along the base of Mt Fuji (visible weather permitting). My tours are low carbon.

Overview of your Yokohama tour

Tour the pretty little naval port town of Yokosuka. Yokosuka has been a naval base for nearly half a millennium, established initially by 17C shipwrecked English pilot William Adams, hero of the popular Shogun novel and TV drama series. Adams now looks out from his hilltop grave across the only US nuclear carrier group based outside USA, and Japan's nuclear submarine fleet.

Your Yokohama tour itinerary

Meet dockside Yokohama port 8am after clearing CIQ. Drive to Yokosuka, short ferry ride to Mokey Island. Short walk around this historical naval base, including remains of the 19C fort built to protect Tokyo Bay from the Western powers, and WW2 gun battlement ruins. Ferry back to Mikasa park, tour the flagship battleship of the Japanese fleet that destroyed the Russian Pacific Fleet in 1904 and the Russian Baltic Fleet in 1905 announcing Japana's arrival as a global power. Feel how Admiral of the Fleet Togo, nicknamed Nelson of Asia, executed a hard port turn in Mikasa to Cross the T. Short drive to cafe lunch then 1pm harbor cruise of modern day Yokosuka Naval base, drop into Modern Heritage Museum if time permits. Drive back to Yokohama Port.
