Guiding human movements using tactile information is one of the promising applications of haptics. Using midair ultrasonic haptic stimulation, it is possible to guide a hand without visual information.However, the information of movement shown by conventional methods was partial. It has not been shown a method to guide a hand to an arbitrary point in three dimensional space. In this study, we propose a method of guiding the hand to the top of a virtual cone presented haptically and evaluate the effectiveness of the method through experiments. As a result, the method guided the participant's hand to the goal in a 30 cm cube workspace with an error of 64.34 mm
