Mika was born in a town about an hour from Hakone and still lives there. She has liked climbing mountains since she was little. She has worked in the travel industry for more than 25 years. Her favorite place in Japan is, of course, Hakone. During the pandemic, she took up wood carving and yoga. Her body is still very stiff, but it's her dream to practice yoga on the coast of Lake Ashi someday.
Hello! I’m Mika. I have travelled almost 100 countries as a trip leader for Japanese tour groups travelling abroad. But now I’m back to my area. I’m very happy to show you around my favorite place, Hakone, through Hakone Explorer. This company cherishes nature of Hakone very much and they contribute to the sustainable development of the community, which has been my dream. Let’s have fun together.
