Hello! I’m Ryosuke—please call me Leo.
I’d love to help you create great memories in Japan, especially around Tokyo and my hometown, Hiroshima.
I once traveled 44,000 km by bicycle across four continents (every continent except Australia!). There’s a chance I might even have passed through your hometown. Through that journey, I learned not only how wonderful travel can be, but also the things travelers should watch out for.
With that experience, I’m sure I can help make your trip smoother and more enjoyable.
Let’s have a great time exploring Japan together!

The guests were a group visiting from Europe. They were very curious and took interest in many things at each stop, which made for a wonderful atmosphere throughout the tour. They had been looking forward to seeing Mount Fuji, but it was covered by clouds, which disappointed them. When the summit came into clear view for a moment on the way down by ropeway, everyone was thrilled. In response to a request for sashimi, we had lunch at a restaurant. They were satisfied not only with the food but also with the cheerful and attentive service of the staff. At the shop they were also interested in the demonstration and purchased many souvenirs. They thoroughly enjoyed everything up to the final visit to Hakone Shrine, making it a truly wonderful tour.

Excursion d’une journée à Hakone
Nous sommes particulièrement ravis de cette journée d’excursion autour d’Hakone et du Mont-Fuji avec notre guide Ryosuke. Le programme et le rythme étaient parfaitement adaptés à nos attentes, Ryosuke nous a permis de vivre une excellente expérience en famille, ses explications se sont révélées intéressantes et précises, le choix des lieux à visiter, des points de vue et les endroits où effectuer des pauses nous ont beaucoup plu !

Great Memories
We really enjoyed this tour. Leo, our guide, was very knowledgeable regarding the culture and history of each site we visited. And for lunch he found a delicious authentic Ramen counter restaurant. It was a really nice day with great memories.
