Meeting Point
Tachikawa station/Guest's hotel

Mount Daibosatsu
Starting from kamihikawa toge we will hike Mount Daibosatsu, one of Japan's 100 famous mountains. Perfect for beginners, the trail offers manageable terrain and takes about 4-6 hours to complete. Enjoy panoramic views and learn about local nature and history from experienced guides. No prior hiking experience needed!
Lunch
After completing the hike, we'll enjoy a delicious home-cooked lunch at the lodge, located at the trail's starting point, before departing by bus at 13:00.
Yamato Tenmoku Onsen
No mountain excursion is truly fulfilled without indulging in the bliss of an onsen experience. After finishing our hike we'll relax our sore muscles in the soothing warmth of natural mineral-rich waters, a cherished tradition deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Beyond relaxation, onsen baths offer numerous health benefits, from relieving muscle tension and improving circulation to promoting overall well-being. Picture yourself unwinding amidst serene surroundings, enveloped in steam and surrounded by breathtaking mountain vistas—a tranquil retreat for both body and soul.
Kai Yamato Station
We'll take the bus back to Kai Yamato station then head back to Tokyo.

About Tour Guide Leandra I.
I’ve called Japan home for seven years, embracing everything from Tokyo’s vibrant urban energy to the tranquillity of the countryside. Before becoming a guide, I explored Tokyo like a curious long-term traveller, uncovering unusual temples, quirky landmarks, hidden backstreets, local live music venues, rural mountain villages, and one-of-a-kind cultural gems. My passion lies in crafting immersive journeys that dive deep into Japan’s heart, sparking a sense of wonder and escape that makes travellers feel worlds away from home.
I’m excited to guide you through the Tokyo labyrinth. This city is endlessly fascinating—so layered and dynamic that even with a lifetime here, you’d only scratch the surface. I’ll show you how to navigate it like a local, as mastering the transport system isn’t as tricky as it seems, and I’ll help you gain the confidence to explore Tokyo on your own while we focus on the city’s hidden treasures.
Together, we can visit parts of Tokyo most travellers overlook—the nostalgic charm of the Shitamachi, the hustle of salaryman districts, the neon-lit buzz of cyber Tokyo, and tranquil local power spots. Let’s discover the city’s hidden depths and create memories that will last a lifetime!

“The perfect family guide in Tokyo”
Leandra was truly the perfect guide for our family during our three days in Tokyo. From the very beginning, she felt like part of our family—warm, friendly, and always looking out for us. We had some special spots we wanted to visit, like Teamlabs and the Owl Cafe, and she made sure to fit them seamlessly into our plans while also showing us parts of the city we never would have discovered on our own. She helped us find great places to shop, try local treats, and experience Tokyo in a way that felt both exciting and easy. Navigating such a big city was effortless with Leandra by our side. On top of everything, she took fantastic photos of our family throughout the trip, which we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—Leandra was a perfect fit for our family, and we’d recommend her to anyone looking to make the most of their time in Tokyo. She made our trip truly special!

“Very nice tour”
Leandra was perfect. She was absolutely amazing and reliable. She did her very best to organize our day. She reserved a Kimono rental and we had the most amazing breakfast in a flower cafe which she recommended. She even reserved tickets for a wonderful night cruise for the three of us. I highly recommend booking Leandra! Thank you so much!

“The perfect guide!”
We just had our tour with Leandra and it was excellent! She was loved by all the family members and really tailored what we saw to our interests, even pivoting during the tour based on our use of the time and the comments we made at each stop. She’s incredibly kind and thoughtful, and also we really appreciated the insights and learning we gained from her about the history and culture, as well as her experience living in country. We can’t say enough how great she is- anyone who is her client will be very happy!
