Private Hiking Tour with a certified national guide in Hakone

We overall had a very good time in Hakone and we are glad we went with Akki san who knows the place very well and all the aspects behind it. He took us to all the great places in Hakone Akki san even made a hot cup of tea on a cold morning on a mountain top and we could sit and enjoy the view of the lake and mountains with a hot cup of tea! He also makes sure he is flexible to what we might be thinking and want from the tour! Thank you Akki san for the wonderful time!

Aki is an AMAZING host and put together a fantastic experience for my two elementary school aged boys and my friend while we were visiting Hakone. Because we were staying close to Gora, Aki understood we didn't want to go all the way down to the main station back-and-forth with our limited time so he customized our own adventure. Also, my boys weren't ready for an onsen experience so he researched other options and found a zipline adventure that they will be talking about for years. He even tested it before we arrived so he knew it was safe. So the overall experience was a special visit at a teahouse, a great forest hike, a visit to a beautiful shrine, a delicious lunch that even my somewhat picky American boys loved with beautiful views of the lake, and photo ops of mt fuji that were picture perfect...ending with the zipline adventure. His communication before the trip was top-notch as well, and he planned out all of our transportation needs so on the day of the tour everything ran seamlessly. Meanwhile, he documented the experience with so many awesome videos and photos, and somehow remained so patient with my rambunctious kiddos. It was definitely a highlight of our Japan trip we'll always remember. Thank you for everything, Aki!
