Just 1 hour train ride will bring you from modern urban sight to local cozy atomosphere. Mt. Oyama was well-known tourist spot in the history because of the symbol of sacred place and rich nature. Oyama dera temple and Afuri Shrine are the highlight of the tour and let you feel the history of the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism. If you want to go to local restaurants, I will suggest some good places around Isehara station.

“Perfect start for the first time in Japan”
Ryoko is very lovely, sweet, kind and knowledgeable. And comes very prepared to give you as much information as she can. She made that first day really special and planned a beautiful trip, off the Mainstream places which are also just as beautiful. The Fire Ceremony was a real highlight. And i learned a lot about the history of Edo/Tokyo. And how to get around the public Transit. It was a pleasure to have her around.
