View on Google MapsWe had a great day exploring the historic path from Hakone. Tony was an excellent guide. He told so many interesting stories about the history of the road. We are now all inspired and plan to rewatch shogun to relive the history. Thanks Tony!
An amazing hike and beautiful part of Japan! Tony’s personalised and local experience (a fluent Japanese translation) made the experience with 13th generation tea house owner Yamamoto felt very special. Tony was very considerate of the whole family’s capabilities and the 12km hike went very smoothly even in cold, wintry, windy but dry conditions. The trees and bamboo along the old Tokaido certainly lived up to its reputation of providing shelter to travelers. A wonderful experience to end our trip to Japan and would highly recommend Tony and his small group tour to anyone who wants to get out in the open and away from the crowds! 5⭐️++!! Thanks again for sharing this small part of Japan with us!

Going in this hike with Tony was one of the best experiences I had in Japan ! We walked through part of the ancient road between Tokyo and Kyoto ! Having Tony to explain the history around the area was very interesting and helped me understand many things about the culture of Japan ! I would suggest for one to contact Tony for similar experiences ! It’s an area worth discovering ! Going to the tea house as well and meeting Mr Yamamoto made be respect this country even more. Thank you
Absolutely wonderful experience. Amazing combo of history, Fuji views, and forested hikes. I’m so impressed by how knowledgeable Tony was and how seamless the pick up was!
We had a wonderful hike with Tony today. He thoughtfully planned the route based on our hotel’s location and our schedule. We began along the historic Old Tokaido foot highway, visiting several local scenic hotspots. One highlight was when we stopped at a 500-year-old teahouse that has been run by the same family for 13 generations. The walk offered beautiful scenery and a deeper connection to the natural landscape. Tony’s deep knowledge of Japanese history and culture made the experience especially engaging and memorable. This hike is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy something beyond the usual onsen or sushi experiences in Hakone, while gaining a richer appreciation of the area’s culture, history, and natural beauty.
This tour was literally wonderful. Tony was a wealth of information and incredibly personable. He took us along the Tokaido ancient highway, an easy to moderate 3-4 mile hike, along cobblestone / rock paths, to a 13th generation tea house where we met the current owner and his son (a true highlight), and a walk along Lake Ashi to the Hakone Shrine, a picnic on the lake and a concluding visit to the Hakone CheckPoint. Literally a highlight of our trip to Japan.
We hiked part of the Old Tokaidō Road in the Hakone mountains in early October. Tony; the owner/guide met us at our accommodation. Before we started he reviewed our footwear, our gear, and the planned trails for the day. His plan included options which considered weather conditions, our desires, and individual abilities. Very light Intermittent rain kept us cool and comfortable for most of the day. The trails are mostly rocky uneven ground, but are clearly marked (in Japanese) and well maintained. Cellular signal was weak or nothing along several parts of the trail. The scenery is beautiful and the history is fascinating. Without a guide, dealing with parking, bus and train transit schedules, and general wayfinding would have made the day much less enjoyable. Tony took care of everything. We had nothing to worry about except to enjoy the hike and the beauty of the forest.
An amazing day from start to finish. Prompt and clear communication regarding the itinerary and transport to and from the hike. Tony is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of the local area, we all came away wanting to know more. The tea house experience at the beginning and cooling our feet at the Genbegwa World Water Heritage area at the end of the day were fantastic bookends to a wonderful day.
Wonderful guide, great history! This was a great day. We went in the rain and Tony was commicative and happy to change things a bit to account for some terrible weather. It was a great day with a moderate hike over stones. Bring sturdy comfy shoes!
