Title: What's a Private Hakone Day Tour with Mount Fuji Views Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The weather improved from the cold rain of the previous day, so the guests were very pleased and satisfied with the views of Mount Fuji. Since the Hotel was located in Tonosawa and not along the Odakyu Line, I had a little difficulty buying a free pass online. The guests were very satisfied with photographing Mount Fuji at Owakudani. They were also interested in Japanese shrines and culture in general. There was a bit of wind, but we were blessed with good weather, and the guests thoroughly enjoyed the nature of Hakone. When we arrived at the Hotel, there was no dinner provided and no dining place nearby, so I felt I should have suggested buying something in advance.

My name is Naoko Fukai. I was born in Tokyo and grew up in Yokohama. I love Yokohama where Japanese modernity started from more than 150 years ago. I will guide you Yokohama, Kamakura, Hakone and Tokyo. Sometimes I do guide in Kyoto , Himeji and Setonaikai inland sea area near Himeji. Japan is very unique . Very traditional but very modern. Very advanced but very ancient. I will show you around Japan in that point of views. 70 percent of Japanese land is covered with forests and mountains. Our life is closely related with nature. I will show you the beautiful nature in Japan.
