Naritasan Shinshoji temple before your flight
Joined 2017
If you have more than 4 hours before your flight at Narita airport, you should visit Naritasan Shinshoji temple, and experience Japanese culture. It's a time-honored temple with a history of over 1000 years.
In my opinion, it's the best temple in Tokyo region with great traditional buildings, beautiful Japanese gardens and Japanese food. Here, I can tell almost everything about Japanese couture and traditions to you.
I can make your layover time in Japan more enjoyable and fruitful !!

“Tour of Fuji and Nikko”
We spent two days exploring out of Tokyo with Mura. He said in his biography that his "basic policy as a tour guide is to entertain my guests with my best hospitality" and Mura certainly lived up to this and we felt very welcome with him. He scheduled the trips well and we never felt rushed or needed to ask to rest. He was able to answer all of our questions about Japan and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him! (This review is duplicated on the other day booking)

Shwe-san, Thank you very much for your review. Unfortunately, we couldn't see a full view of Mt. Fuji. I know we can't control the weather. But I feel sorry when we can't see the mountain. Best Regards, Hideaki Murayama

Exciting Mt. Fuji - One Day Tour from Tokyo
In this tour, we will visit three of the most popular Mt. Fuji viewing spots. My favorite part of this tour is when I take you to Arakurayama Sengen Park where we can have the most beautiful view of Mt. Fuji with five-story pagoda. I think this is the best place for Mt. Fuji viewing, but it is located in a little bit complicated place. So, I can take you here in the most efficient way.
Exciting Hakone - One Day Tour from Tokyo
Hakone is one of the best sightseeing spots with beautiful sceneries and 20 kinds of hot springs. Take a Shinkansen (a bullet train) from Tokyo. After that, a mountain train that runs through valleys, a ropeway that allows you to view beautiful Mr. Fuji on a sunny day and cruising at Lake Ashi. Owakudani is the place where you can see the real volcanic activity. My favorite part of this tour is Lake Ashi where You can have the most beautiful view of Mt. Fuji with the lake.
