    The guide was well informed of the plants, birds, and various creatures in the Hakone area. The guide was also willing to assist with instructions on how to get to the meeting point from the Tokyo area. I would recommend this tour.

    Loved our nature walk

    Lindsey_W, Aug 2024
    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.

    Great way to spend time in Hakone

    We had a wonderful experience walking in nature with our guide Mr.Yoshi, who is an expert in nature and history of Hakone. Although the weather was rainy, Mr.Yoshi changed a few courses to make it easier for us, and we actually loved walking in the fog that turned out to by dramatic and enjoyable to see. Also, the Sengokubara-Chaya (tea house) in front of the grass field was a cozy place and nice to stop by:) Definately recommend this tour if you want to experience nature in Hakone!

    The highlight of our trip to Hakone

    James_W, Oct 2023
    This tour was easily one of the best parts of our 4 day trip to Hakone. Yoshi was a wonderfully knowledgeable, accomodating and friendly guide, and his in-depth knowledge of Hakone’s geography, botany, history and wildlife made this an incredibly interesting and rewarding tour. He was very flexible and happy to cater the tour to our group’s needs (one of our party had some mobility issues), and went above and beyond in making sure we had the best time possible. We saw stunning bits of Hakone we wouldn’t have visited otherwise and learnt so much about the areas plants and animals. Highly, highly, highly recommended to anyone visiting Hakone!

    My first experience walking in nature

    Mio_T, Jun 2023
    I had a special, relaxing time, and just perfect for my first nature walk in Hakone. The weather was perfect for strolling along the garden and the susuki grass fields. Especially what impressed me most was the beautiful scenery of each section of the garden which consists of various species of plants. I truly enjoyed every moment of the walking with Yoshi-san. He is not only knowledgeable about nature and history of Hokone, but also a lovely person to have a chat :) Thank you so much!
