Hike the beautiful Hakone Geopark

Unforgettable must do hike This hike was an unforgettable experience and the highlight of my trip to Japan! Akihiro was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, making the journey through nature even more enjoyable. After the hike, we relaxed at an onsen, which was the perfect way to end the day—I would absolutely do this hike again!

Beautiful views. Worth the effort Aki is a great hiking guide, he takes great care of you at all times, he is very patient and takes pictures of you all along the way. We had an amazing day with ideal views.

Lots of scenic views, fun facts and good food Aki was an amazing tour guide and the walking tour / hike was curated really well. On Aki's tour, we saw and experienced a lot of things we wouldn't have been able to do ourselves, such as the amazake tasting and witnessing a stunning view of Mount Fuji in a very peaceful setting. The hiking parts were nicely paced out; we would hike, have a tea break, hike / walk, have lunch. It never felt strenuous or uncomfortable. We went during late December, and it was only cold when we were in the forest at the highest part of elevation, so maybe 30% of the hike / walking tour. I was a nervous about a winter hike, but the since winter is Japan's dry season, it worked in our favor. The river streams were low and the ground and rocks were dry, so I always felt really. I would consider this a low difficulty and kid-friendly hike. Throughout our hike, Aki took really nice pictures of us and shared fun facts about the history or environment. It was a physically and mentally engaging activity.

Great! It was an incredible experience! Akihiro is friendly, knowledgeable, and great company for the day. I was glad to have this tour which featured a day in nature and some Japanese history, something different from time spent in the bigger cities. It was a real highlight of my trip to Japan.

Lovely and thoughtful hike and tour! Aki was a delightful guide, and the hike was lovely and just the right amount of difficulty. We also stopped at a really nice little gift shop and cool old tea house and ended at the Takaido Hakone checkpoint at Lake Ashi which was neat to see. All in all, a very pleasant and well thought out outing!

Aki's Old Tokaido Road: Where History Meets Hiking Magic If you are looking for a unique experience that includes hiking on a historical trail, Old Tokaido Road, consider this great experience with Aki, a talented historian and hiker. Aki is passionate about sharing anecdotes regarding this amazing region. The mist and the rain offered us quiet and stunning views.He started his business Coconuts Hike Japan with a commitment to offering the best of Japanese nature and history with visitors. His command of the English language is a plus. Everything from the teahouse visit (introduction to local seafood and Udon noodles), to the Hakone Checkpoint, to the Mishima Shrine were accompanied by historical background.And, this is the best part. Aki helped us navigate the train and the bus systems. At first, I wondered about taking buses within our day, yet the scenery and relief from some of the hiking enhanced the experience. Since we scheduled the hiking in day 2 of our vacation, the info that he provided made the complex Japanese Rail System much easier for the remainder or our travels in Japan.THIS day will long be remembered.

Great Trip Aki was a great guide and so knowledgable. We had cloudy weather so didn’t get to see Mt Fuji, but some of the views of Lake Ashi and the surrounding towns were amazing.

Very interesting tour with an excellent guide. We had a great day! Walking a spectaculair historic route with a knowledgeable, friendly, flexible guide. Who speaks good English as well.

Oasis of calm in the forest We had a very pleasant gentle climb through the light dappled forest of cedar and cypress. We visited a working zen Buddhist temple set in beautiful gardens, and then had lunch followed by a relaxing soak in the onsen. Aki was a very informative host and took good care of us, even providing chocolates and a selection of hot drinks including green tea and lattes. Highly recommended.
