Kasama in Ibaragi Prefecture is one of the pottery towns where we can easily access from Tokyo. It takes about 1. 5 hours from Tokyo by express train and is the perfect place for a day excursion for nature and pottery lovers. Japanese pottery is very unique and you will be fascinated by not only the variety of tableware but also pottery art, as I did.

Great guide!

Very aware of keeping track of us, flexible and very knowledgable.

Best of all days in Tokyo thanks to Sachimi-san!

Sachimi-san is great company, and she went out of her way to create some unique experiences to fit with my particular interests: paper making and silk dyeing. Both sessions were conducted by experts who were generous, helpful and good fun to be with. I would never have had these enriching experiences without Sachimi-san's thoughtful guidance. She is an absolute gem!

Ruth-san, Thank you so much for such a nice review! I also enjoyed accompanying you and had a great time as well. Your work was brilliant!! I wish to enjoy together different things next time:)

Mt.Fuji & Lake Kawaguchi-ko

Tokyo
12 hours

Mt.Fuji is not the tallest mountain in Japan, but it symbolizes Japan. It is 3,776m high and an independent peak representing Japan. From Shinjuku, you can take a special train to Mt Fuji. That is a 2-hour journey. Because of the majestic beauty of its ridgeline, it has been alive as a source of various cultures since ancient times. We recommend enjoying the view of Mt. Fuji from the five lakes surrounding Mt. Fuji, such as Kawaguchiko or Yamanakako. You can enjoy Mt.Fuji without climbing.
