What To Expect
Ajisai Bridge
A beautiful vermilion bridge, located near Hakone-Yumoto Station, which is famous as a photo spot. Hydrangea is a flower that blooms in June, and Hakone is also a famous hydrangea, so it was named Hydrangea Bridge.
Hakone Jinja
A shrine with a history of 1,200 years or more. In particular, the Torii (wooden gate) standing on the lake is recently getting popular as a place where you can take unique photos. The vermilion Torii in the clear blue color lake is such a fantastic view!

5.00Wonderful day with Masami! Many great sights around Hakone, interesting history, stories and info we would not have otherwise known! Loved what Masami shared about Japanese culture and customs. Made getting around easy so we could just enjoy the experience rather than stressing about how to get around.
We had a lovely day with...

5.00We had a lovely day with Mr Koji- we were unlucky that it was a cold day so some of the views were not possible. However we enjoyed the scenery and Mr Koji was very kind and tolerant of our exuberant children. Was very smooth using a guide.

5.00Very nice tour of Hakone with the Munetaka tour guide. The tour was perfectly planned and organized, got a lot of nice and interesting insights. I hadn’t had such a lovely and warm tour guide as Munetaka for a long time who had done a fantastic job.

5.00This trip was very fun and informative. A very unique experience of going to shrines, boats and volcano. I would like to thank Mike for his friendly and excellent service, he was very knowledgeable about the area. I would reccomend this trip as a way to fully experience the area
Mystical and inspirational

5.00My tour guide was Tatsu, and he took me around Hakone. A pretty complete tour from the mystical Lake Ashi where I could see fishes jumping, to the 9 headed dragon temple, to the cable car ride up to see where the black eggs are made (and my life extended 7 more years from eating the black eggs), to finally circle back ending with a visit to the open sky museum, which was my highlights. Tatsu spoke 4-5 languages and it was fun learning out his travels and life experiences. I appreciated his accommodations, making everything fit seamlessly in a short amount of time. I was nervous taking the train back to Tokyo as the time was cutting close and the train system was still confusing to me, but Tatsu offered to accompany me since his trip back was similar. I appreciated how attentive he was, especially offering to take photos during the tour. Overall, a great companion for a memorable Hakone tour!
Great Guide

5.00All in all your was very good, one disappointment was that we were not able to go to the shrine in the water...really the one thing I wanted to see! The other thing is that to many people are let onto the boat for the boat trip, so there are not enough seats. Our guide Osamu was fantastic, very knowledgeable, gentle and kind. We really enjoyed him and sharing stories! He was also very helpful in helping us understand the train system for the rest of our trip...he went above and beyond!!

5.00Masami is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We had unfortunately wet weather on our tour day, but Masami customized our itinerary to maximize our experience. He is a wealth of local knowledge and is eager to share cultural insights.
Incredible Hakone experience with masami aonuma

5.00Masami Aonuma was our private tour guide through all of hakone today. He was a wonderful man, full of information and kindness. He treated us like family and made me feel very welcome. He had lots of information about the history and culture which was very appreciated. Also, the weather was poor and he was flexible and accommodating, shifting plans to make sure we still had a wonderful trip. I will 100% recommend him and Hakone to our friends in California.

5.00We had a lovely day with our guide Nara exploring the Hakone area. He was very polite and didn’t rush us with anything, which was appreciated. The guides add a lot of information you wouldn’t get just exploring by yourself and we really value our day in Hakone with Nara thanks for a great day exploring the sights.
