One long day out of Tokyo: Mt Fuji 5th Station, lunch, Hakone Ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, then Shinkansen back.
“Great experience- love sora and her energy. Buffet could have had more traditional Japanese cuisine! But overall worth the expense.”
Mt Fuji 5th Station and Hakone in one day: Lake Ashi cruise, Mt Komagatake ropeway, and Shinkansen return from Tokyo Station.
“Tour guide was very friendly and informative. Ride the horses at 5th station if you have time! Mt. Fuji was visible all day.”
One 10-hour day from Tokyo to Mt. Fuji 5th station, then Hakone ropeway and Lake Ashi cruise, back on the Shinkansen.
“amazing trip... second time doing it.. Levin our guide was so funny and had great stories about all the areas we visited. the food in the Ninja Village was lovely; wish we had more tkme at all the locations but loved the cable car in Hakone and the boat (not the pirate boat) at the lake was lovely and got so close to the gate... def would recommend this again.”
Big views of Mt. Fuji and volcanic Hakone in one packed day from Tokyo, capped with a fast bullet train return.
“overall we enjoyed this day tour from Tokyo. unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate for Mt Fuji, but it was still an enjoyable experience. most of the day consisted of transportation, but that's what was so relaxing about it the stops lasted about 20-45 minutes and went quick.”
Tokyo to Kyoto by Shinkansen with an English guide, lunch included, and three top temple stops: Fushimi Inari, Sanjusangendo, and Kiyomizu-dera.
“It was a great way to travel and the Temples were awesome. The guide was phenomenal and the lunch was fantastic”
Mt. Fuji and Hakone in one long day from Tokyo, with optional Shinkansen return, ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, and optional Japanese lunch.
“Great way to seeing the country side and the bus stops at the last view point of Mount Fuji. The return bullet train was a good way to return to Tokyo after a long day.”
Fukuoka day trip to Takachiho Gorge, a vintage train ride, and Amano Yasugawara shrine. Optional boat, photo stops, guided comfort.
“Really fun day trip! Takachiho Gorge was beautiful and definitely worth the visit – the cliffs and river were amazing. The scenic railway ride was a nice touch and super relaxing. It’s a long day, but everything was well-organized and stress-free. Great way to see Takachiho from Fukuoka without worrying about the travel.”
Kyoto from Osaka in one guided day, with the Sagano Romantic Train, Fushimi Inari torii gates, Arashiyama bamboo, and Kiyomizu-dera.
“This trip was really lovely. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and kind and despite a few delays along the way due to traffic he still managed to make sure we had plenty of time at each stop. One tip for people booking - the buffet lunch was not great for vegetarians. TRead more”
