Rafael was a terrific guide: super knowledgeable about Japan’s history over the last 2,000 years, and the evolution (and source) of the role and impact that Buddhism and Shintoism have had on Japanese culture. He was also very generous with his time. We recommend him highly.

There was more walking than I expected, but Stewart was able to tailor this to what we requested. We did make it up as high as possible near Mt. Fuji but the clouds came in late and we could not see the top. It was still well worth the trip and we avoided a lot of travel transfer pitfalls due to the experience of Context travel and Stewart, having lived in Japan so long. Specifically, where to get on and off the bus and the pirate ship around Hakone.
Stewart made good suggestions for optional activities in order to maximize our tour, such as skipping the outdoor museum because we had already seen a lot of modern art. He also gave us extra history on Japan, as only one who had lived here would be able to do, and with his background as a teacher.

As a fan of cooking, and Anthony Bourdain, I really appreciated the expertise of John as it related to food. The best ramen was definitely the best, and we would never have found the "drunkards alley" on our own, or known the history of those areas without his guidance.
John was very personable and made sure we enjoyed every minute of our tour.
