Overview

The tour I‘m offering is basically for nature-loving guests. The guests will walk around relatively flat areas as opposed to hiking steep mountains, so the guests can spend more time in appreciating the nature of Hakone with a certified professional nature guide. The nature in Hakone is very unique in its creatures and geological aspects. The guests will meet wild plants of the season some of which are endemic only this part of Japan and the world. Also, the guests will spot resident and migratory wild birds, insects, local fish, and if lucky mammals such as weasels, deer, foxes, raccoon dogs, and so on. During the tour, the guests are suggested to use binoculars that the guide will bring for each guest during the tour as it is very handy to spot creatures and see far-off landscapes for the unique geological features of Hakone. The tour will stimulate your sense of wonder as the nature in Hakone is much different from whererver you come from. Let's enjoy the nature in Hakone together!

Extraordinary experience from an expert guide and HOST

Published on Dec, 2024

Yoshi's description of what to expect from this experience is as modest and humble as he. His knowledge of the area, both natural and man-made is deep and wide. Yoshi provided extraordinary communication before and during the experience. He treated me more like a host rather than a guide and ensured that I, a solo English speaking traveler, was able to get to/from my accommodations and provide advice that can't be extracted from a guide book. The walk was extraordinary not just for it's beauty but the deep knowledge of the area Yoshi was happy to provide (including a remarkable 'handout' with the plants, fauna, birds, critters we might see). He was well prepared, kind and thoughtful to an extreme and even provide binoculars with needed instructions! Lunching on soba noodles was a perfect touch (do learn to slurp as this shows appreciation) and the innumerable kindnesses that he gifted to me is a memory I will treasure.

Best Tour

Published on May, 2024

Hakone is a caldera including a big lake formed by a volcano. It features rich nature and many hot springs. It is accessible from Tokyo in an hour by train and cable car. The weather was rainy when we joined this walking tour, but the tour guide thought quickly and adjusted the route. So, we enjoyed walking in the nature and landscape. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Hakone. His explanations made our walking more enjoyable. It was a wonderful experience for us to visit where we would never have been able to visit on our own. Hakone Shisseikaen Garden was the best point to visit.
