Fantastic experience, beyond expectations. And that’s even with rain and clouds for part of the day: Hiking in the midst of the stunning natural beauty that is the forest region of Hakone, while at the same time not only learning the history but living it, as you walk along an historic trail dating back 400 years. Tea house and little noodle shop were great rest stops and also historic in and of themselves. Brought my 18 year old daughter who normally is not into nature hiking or history and she loved it too. Don’t forget to bring cash for taxi, bus, food, and a small umbrella a good idea just in case. Aki the tour guide is kind, competent and knowledgeable, and knows the area and history like the back of his hand.

Hiking Hakone with Aki was one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. Aki is not only knowledgeable and knows how to zip around Hakone through buses and trails to make sure you see the best spots, he has a very calming demeanor that fits the scenery. He even served coffee when we found a good spot to take in Mt. Fuji. The tour with Aki is a great way to spend the day seeing Hakone.
