About me
Hi, I'm Tony.Yokoso (welcome) to Japan, where I have lived for a decade.I specialize in walking and hiking tours of the Hakone region, a beautiful, geologically active, national park also including Mount Fuji.
Originally a forester by profession, you will see some of my tours involve ltrekking.As we walk, I like to help you experience our wild flora and fauna.Our region is tectonically active and includes Izu Geopark, Hakone Geopark, and of course Japan's iconic active volcano Mount Fuji.Enjoy learning about this active earth.Japanese history is a personal interest as I find a little appreciation of it helps in understanding today's Japan and its unique people.Experience Hakone region's pivotal role in Japan's history over the last 5 centuries (starting from Clavell's "Shogun") and local cultural activities.
I live in Atami, a cute seaside hot spring resort just 45 minutes from Tokyo station by bullet train, and close to Hakone.Born in Fiji and educated in New Zealand, I have worked in tourism for nearly 3 decades all around Asia/Pacific.I decided to settle in Atami because this region is the most picturesque and interesting place I have experienced.
As well as guiding tours I consult to the Shizuoka Prefectural Government on local tourism development, which has given me lots of ideas for experiences that enable you to touch grass-roots Japan.Your participation in these programs will also enrich our local rural communities.I'm also a Director of Hike Hakone Hachiri LTD licensed tour operator that you can also find on this site.
