プライベート箱根ツアー-山の眺め富士、自然と文化

We did a 1-day tour with Miko to Mt Hakone, and the surrounding area. Miko was such a great guide, that we wished we had more time in Tokyo and Japan so she could show us more of her country. She made the tour fun, handled all the logistics (trains, tickets, etc.), and also explained the history, culture, food, geography, and much more. Can’t say enough good things about Miko. When we return to Japan, we hope to tour with her again. She made our day very memorable.

When you go to Tokyo, definitely include the Private Hakone Tour with Miko. You’ll ride a Bullet Train, a cable car, and a Pirate ship all while enjoying the beautiful mountains around Mt. Fuji. Miko also took us to and from our hotel, to guide us through Tokyo’s complicated subway systems. Then she emails all of the photos she took of us along with a written recap of the places we visited during the tour. She is an Amazing Tour Guide and we think of her as family.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable day out in Hakone and surrounds with personable Miko who was knowledgeable, superbly efficient and went out of her way to be helpful. Definitely the highlight of our short visit to Tokyo.

Beautiful temples. Lots of walking along well maintained areas. Without Yasu I would still be lost in the bowels of the subway. 😮😮

This was a great tour and Yasu was so down to earth and fun. He knew a lot about the places we visited, he had little tricks to get us some great photos without having to stand in long lines, and one of our favorite parts of the day was actually sitting at lunch chatting! The tour itself offered some really fun ways to see some very interesting areas. Trains, cable cars, ropeway, and a really cool tour boat!

This is our first time to Tokyo and Paiva was very friendly, helpful and informative. She got along well with my 2 children and was flexible in making the necessary arrangements to suit our needs. She is meticulous in her planning and genuine in her interaction and care for us. We enjoyed the experience to the Hakone Shrine, Lake Ashi, Okuwadani via Bullet train, ship. Ropeway and Cable Car. It was a memorable experience thanks to Paiva. ❤️

Our tour guide, Paiva, was great. She guided us expertly around the subways and trains, including getting us seats. She answered all of our questions and was friendly and personable. Highly recommend this tour guide as she goes above and beyond.

We had the most amazing day with our superb guide Paiva who looked after us so well all day from picking us up to dropping us off 11 hours later, she was very knowledgeable and aware of our needs at all times. It was the most magical day I had been worrying I would not be able to cope with all the walking steps etc., but I had no problem at all so don’t be put off.

We traveled from Tokyo to Odawara Station by Shinkansen (bullet train). From there we transferred to Hakone Yumoto by local train and then boarded a taxi which took us directly to Hakone Shrine. Hakone Shrine We explored Hakone Shrine which dates back to 1667, discussed Shintoism, and learned about how this shrine is linked to the first Emperor of Japan. We took pictures by the torii gate in the water. Lake Ashi We took a boat across Lake Ashi, once believed to house the 9 headed dragon that caused steam eruptions by the nearby mountains. Hakone Ropeway We took a nice ropeway up towards Owakudani Owakudani We explored an active volcano and ate black eggs, adding 7 years to your life! Hakone Tozan Cable Car We rode on a cable car through the mountains. This special cable car system dates back to 1922. Hakone Open Air Museum We visited Japan’s first open-air museum which includes works from Henry Moore and Picasso and local Japanese artists Ryoji Goto (the black and red dancing people), and Takamichi Ito (the steel turning sticks) amongst others. Finally, we traveled back to Tokyo by Shinkansen.

Terrific tour! Rohan was delightful and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our day! Highly recommend to all who are interested in Japan’s history, culture or nature.
