Full Day Mt. Fuji Key Sites #1 (11 Hours)
Joined 2018
This tour covers key sites of Mt. Fuji and its surroundings with beauty and wonders of nature. I will also cover the cultural aspect of this World Heritage Site. I will meet you at your hotel and will escort you back to your hotel. As I designed this tour, I focused on full coverage of key sites of Mt. Fuji in regards to geography, culture and history, plus time and budget efficiency utilizing a coach (bus) transport from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area. Your safety/satisfaction will be my #1 key.

Meeting Point
At your hotel
Pick you up at your hotel in Tokyo and escort you to Shinjuku bus terminal from where we depart for Mt. Fuji area
The key issue for this tour is transportation "from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area" and also "around Mt. Fui". The best solution, I believe, would be the combination of an economical coach bus for the long distance travel "from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji area" and "a hired car or van around Mt. Fuji area". The one-way coach fee is Yen 2,200 (US$15) and the basic hourly hired car/van fee is Yen 7,020 (US$50). You will need just about 4 hours for the tour around Mt. Fuji.
Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center - Admission free
This is your first visit of the day for a quick preview of the tour. With free admission, you will learn the overall feature of Mt. Fuji with its natural, cultural and historical characteristics.
Arakura Sengen Shrine - Admission free
One of the most famous Instagram Photo Spots in Mt. Fuji sites. I will walk you through the famous Shinto Shrine with the stunning view of Mt. Fuji, weather permitting.
Tsuji-ya Restaurant - you will pay your lunch expense
One of the best authentic Japanese restaurants in the area with quality local food. The owner and the restaurant team will host you with their warmest hospitality and variety of authentic Japanese food.
8 Ponds of Oshino (Oshino Hakkai)
Witness the wonder of water around Mt. Fuji. You will be amazed by the clarity and wonder of the water in those ponds - the water is the result of wonderous dynamic of nature around Mt. Fuji. The water you see in those ponds is the mater which is the result of the melting snow from 20 years ago. The snow that accumulated onto the mountain 20 years ago has melted and has been absorbed into the cave, soil and rocks of the mountain and resrufaced and sprang to those ponds - really amazaing dymatic of natural water circulation.
Depart from Mt. Fuji area for Tokyo
Ride on the coach bus back to Tokyo and then I will escort you back to your hotel

Full Day Tokyo Key Sites #1 (8 Hours)
Basic concept of this tour is to cover all the key sites of Tokyo. You will see both the old and new faces of Metropolitan Tokyo. Tokyo has a unique and dynamic history after its designation as Japan's capital in 1868. This tour is based on public transportation, so it will involve some walkings but I will accommodate the amount of walking depending on how much you wish to walk. Regardless of the season, I will include the seasonal beauty of Tokyo for your fullest satisfaction.
Full Day Tokyo Key Sites #2 (8 Hours)
Hi I am Tsutomu. This is my #2 Full Day Tokyo Key Sites. This compliments my Plan#1 and of course, you could mix #1 and #2 if you wish. Both are my standard plans and my objective is to give you the best part of Tokyo in 8 hours.. I customize the tour especially for you. Tokyo has so many sites that would appeal to your intellectual interest, so feel free to let me know if you have any other places you wish to see. I will accommodate.
Full Day Kamakura Key Sites #1 (11 Hours)
In the eastern Japan, Kamakura is one of the best (if not THE BEST) places to witness the deapths of Japanese history. While Kyoto is a capital established by aristocrats, Kamakura is a capital built and nurtured by samurai worrior class. Its culture is simple and dynamic. My guiding point is History, Culture, Natural Beauty and Zen spirit, not to mention authentic Japanese food of your preference (or choice in any ways)!! I would like you to see the unique historical sites of over 800 years.
Full Day Nikko Key Sites #1 (11 Hours)
In Japan, there is a saying (pun) that goes "Don't say Kekko until you see Nikko", which means "Don't say you are fully satisfied until you see Nikko". The great representation of Nikko is the combination of unparelled Cultural World Heritage Site of Toshogu Shrine and pure beauty of nature at Kegon Falls and Lake Chuzenji. This tour covers all of those key sites with my professional explanation of history and culture behind those heritages. Let's discover beauty of Nikko and exclaim "Kekko!!"
Other Popular Nature & Outdoor Tours in Mount Fuji
Explore Aokigahara brimming with natural beauty!
If you are a nature-lover, how about wandering around Aokigahara with a certified nature guide? Unique vegetation created by the eruption of Mt. Fuji is worth observing. A 3-hour hike in the serene atmosphere offers you a special experience. Fresh air, singing birds and greenery will make you feel relaxed.
Feel Great Nature of Mt.Fuji & Mystical Forest Aokigahara
The Fuji Five Lakes and the Aokigahara Forest are fascinating natural wonders created by Mt.Fuji. They remain untouched nature sceneries. They are on the north side of the mountain, in Nation Park of Japan, and are only 2 hours away from Tokyo. It is the ideal place to purify mind and body in the tranquility of nature. We can also arrange other sight seeing spots including Arakurayama Sengen Shrine, Ashikawa Village, Ide Sake Brewery.. etc up to your requests.
河口湖眺望富士山美景、湖畔景色＆搭乘纜車、遊覽船
我會事先預購遊覽車票，如果有加到飯店迎接，請早上8點左右集合，或者8：30前在東京車站八重洲南口集合後，我把票給您後一起上車! 車子是在9點發車，不能遲到唷~車程大概2小時可以到達靜岡御殿場oulet，那邊的名牌店面很多都有折扣活動，會比東京還便宜很多!!!吃吃逛逛買買後，大概下午4點的遊覽車下山，回到東京加上堵車的時間，大概3小時到4小時後回到東京車站。
Walking in Aokigahara,the sea of trees, and exploring caves
You can enjoy the nature of beautiful forest at the foot of Mt Fuji.We also go into some of interesting caves in the forest. If you are used to hiking, I will take you to the small mountain where you can see the whole Mt Fuji.
