Hi, I'm Takao. I like walking with my friends in the mountains, along rivers and beaches, and visiting historical places and museums. Usually, after enjoying these places, we take a dip in hot springs and drink beer.
As a guide, however, I'll take up places easy to walk around. I assume not many people from abroad are prepared for sweating activities.
If you like, though, I can modify my plan, connecting with a short hiking, hot bath and a drinking place.
1. The fee doesn't include the tourists' transportation fees.
2. The fee doesn't include the tourists' meals or beverages.
3. The fee doesn't include admission charges for visiting places or charges for hands-on activities.

Thank you takao for fitting in all our "must do" sights. We had a great day!
Hi, Amanda. Thank you for your good review! I really enjoyed the tour with you. Today I worked in the field, harvesting rice. Grasshoppers flew up and swallows flew down. And eaglet kept watching the field. I wanted to show Anderson the sight. Have a nice trip in Japan! Best regards, Takao Mizushima
Takao showed us the best day in Hakone! We were in Japan for well over two weeks and this was one of the most memorable days! It was rainy so he adjusted the schedule so we went to the Hakone museum after a tasty lunch with the locals. We also went to the best tea house and it was such a treat! Long day that we ended in the onsen. He is a wonderful guide and he showed us a perfect day that I couldn’t have shown my family on my own with the hike and these particular sights. I spend my money wisely. Hire this guy and you won’t regret it!
Hi, Michelle, Kristine, Aliana and William! Thank you for your nice review. It was such a nice tour for me, too! I really enjoyed talking with you, people from the City of Lawrence. You treated me very kindly and warmly with lunch + Japanese rice wine, Hakone Yuryo spa and dinner + beer! Please keep contact with me. I hope you’ll welcome me when I visit your facebook page soon. See you on the page! Best regards, Takao Mizushima
Highly Recommended! Outstanding knowledge of the area. Very patient and flexible with our needs as tourists, whether on bathroom breaks, change in attractions or extending time. We thoroughly enjoyed his company and unique way of giving information and navigating our itinerary!
Hi, Rod. Thank you for your kind review. I’ll always remember three of you posing surrounding the Black Egg monument with real black eggs in your hands. Beautiful Mt. Fuji welcomed you from behind. I’m happy I was able to help you in Hakone as a guide, thank you again. Best regards, Takao Mizushima
In spite of the unexpected bad weather of cold rain and wind, Takao did his best to provide convenient transportation and take us to most of the organized list of sights planned. He was very polite and attentive.
Hi, Theodore and Liubou. Thank you for your nice review. I didn’t expect to get such a kind and warm words. Yes, it was a challenging day. We were in the clouds and fogs and nothing was visible. I didn’t realize we were past Amasake Chaya Tea House. I kept searching for words to explain things although I was able to see nothing around. Mr. Fuji took a day off and did not show her face. I really enjoyed talking with you. That helped me to change difficulties into happy memories. I’m happy I was able to see you from the country of Cyprus which I would have never had a chance to have connections in my life without you. Have a nice trip in Japan. Best regards, Takao Mizushima
