Hi, I’m Hiroko. I dream of supporting Hakone’s tourism through Explore Hakone. During my work at the government, I found my 15th-century ancestors deeply related to Odawara and Hakone, which proved what my uncle had used to tell me was true. The more I guided the area, the more I felt drawn and attached to it, as if my ancestors wanted me to show guests around the world their ‘ex-territory’ and share the nature, history, culture, and people they loved. Here I am, waiting for you!
