Client Reviews
Incredible tour - highly recommend! We loved our hike with Aki!! The tour was a great way to experience the nature and beauty of Hakone, and Aki was an incredible guide sharing historical facts along the way. Highly recommend this tour. 
Superbe journée enrichissante Le guide, Akihiro, et propriétaire de la business qui est responsable du tour est très sympathique et connaît parfaitement l’histoire de ce sentier mythique. Cette journée permet de mieux comprendre l’importance de Hakone dans l’histoire du pays, tout en sillonnant la nature splendide. 
Wonderful experience with Akihiro! We had an amazing two-day hiking experience in Hakone with our guide Akihiro. He is a local, he grew up in this area so his knowledge of the region and the trails is truly impressive. He was able to adapt the itinerary perfectly to what we wanted to see and do and made sure we experienced all the places we were interested in. We were also lucky with great weather, which made the whole experience even more special. We were very happy with the entire experience and very appreciated how thoughtfully Akihiro planned and guided our hikes. Highly recommended! 
A great hike! This was an amazing experience! Aki, our guide, was incredibly kind and served us tea and snacks. He also took great pictures, and we had a fantastic view of Mount Fuji, clear of any clouds. I highly recommend this tour! 
Recommended! Wonderful guide! Great area knowledge as he grew up locally. Knew all the hidden gems! He took us to a 5th generation wood working workshop and a 13th generation teahouse where we met the owner, what a treat. The weather was good so we ended up having a pic nic with the best curry bread I had in my life (his recommendation). He also took a lot of pictures of us which I was really grateful for because we always forget. He helped us get our Shinkansen tickers for our trip back. Most importantly, great personality and lovely to be around. This is particularly important when spending 8 hours on a mountain with someone you never met. 
Beautiful forest tour for healing This was an amazing tour with a super knowledgeable guide. He told us many stories about the forest and the temple and it made the experience really special. The forest hike itself was very relaxing and we were greeted by spring flowers. The lunch was very tasty and the onsen experience was a great way to finish. We definitely feel very healed and got a chance to explore an amazing place of nature. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone, especially if you want a break from busy life and see a beautiful part of Japan. 
Wonderful! Exceeded our expectations. If you are heading to Hakone, you must make time to do this trail. This is not just a tour… it is a time machine … a nature tour…and the views of Mt Fuji are amazing! Hakone is not only about the Onsens! 
Pleasant gentle hike on a historic stretch just outside Tokyo This was a wonderful hike on the old Tokaido road connecting Edo to Kyoto. While the modern road is basically a highway, Aki guided us to historic and mountain bits. Highlights were seeing the old tea house and some old prints of Hiroshige's 53 stations on the Tokaido road in what was a tiny museum! We were less lucky with seeing Fuji (just caught a glimpse as it clouds up in the afternoon) but all in all, it was a great day out. We were very well guided by Aki and would be happy to recommend this to anyone. A pleasant and easy hike just an hour out from Tokyo on a genuinely historic stretch. 
A Carefully Curated Experience Our travel agent booked this experience, so going into it I was only aware that we would be hiking the old Tokaido Highway. We had such a wonderful time! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to great spots. Throughout the hike he took fantastic photos of us which he sent for us to download (great quality!!!!!). It was fantastic to see a different side of Japan instead of heavily touristy areas. He was a fantastic guide and host. This experience was very carefully created and it showed.
