Get a guide for Hakone!
He was very knowledgeable and navigated the complicated tourist activities. My mom and I didn’t have to worry about anything. We just sat back, relaxed, and Toshi-San took care of everything!

Amazing experience, highly recommend!
Kuwa was amazing! My family enjoyed our trip with him so much. He was so knowledgeable, patient and kind. Every detail was taken care of. He even went above and beyond to help make our daughter’s birthday a little special by picking up a slice of cake and helping with a dinner reservation. Hakone and all the sites we visited were beautiful including the tea stop and lunch spot. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
