What Is a Private Kamakura Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report
The guests were visiting Japan for sightseeing. Some of the guests had come to Japan many times for work, but this was the first sightseeing trip for everyone in the group. They mentioned that they had visited the Osaka Expo and had to wait a very long time there. They were friendly and easygoing, and we spent an enjoyable day together. One of the guests found stairs difficult, but explored the cave with great interest. At Hasedera Temple, that guest waited in the garden. At the Great Buddha and Hokokuji Temple, the guests took many photos and thoroughly enjoyed the history and the Japanese scenery. For meals, they were happy with any kind of Japanese food and ate everything beautifully. During the meals, I talked about Japanese kanji and history, and the guests listened with great interest.

I am Hiroki Morikawa :Hiro:, English guide living with my wife ,just a hop skip and jump from Hakone, Kamakura, Tokyo and the Mt. Fuji.
I am a friendly grandfather of 4 grandchildren.
I would love to help you enjoy Japan, using my 3 strong points.
First: I am used to dealing with any kind of matters. I have experienced various situations in the 40 years of my working life.
Second: I am good at making a friendly atmosphere between you and local people to help you enjoy Japan. I was raised in western Japan, studied in northern Japan and now live in central Japan. So I know various local cultures and dialects to communicate with a wide variety of people.
Third: I can explain things from a technical point of view.
For example, how the Great Buddha was constructed, because I am a master of engineering graduated from Hokkaido University.
Please enjoy Japan with me. See you soon!!

6 hour tour of Hakone
we had a great experience with our guide, Hiro. Despite the weather not cooperating (rain),
Hiro was great about making adjustments so that we could see as much as Hakone as
possible.
