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.

We loved our gentle nature hike. What a kind and interesting guide we saw things we would never have seen. The boys really enjoyed this. Thank you and highly recommended.

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.
