This is a private tour. . Experience the local foods with the sights of the countryside combined. So near to Tokyo but it is another world.
Away from crowds. 1 and a half hours away from Tokyo.The green moss has hidden the countryside from the city. The fauna are waiting to greet you. The wild deer, boar, monkey and sometimes bear. The views are stunning. The people are very friendly. Come with me to the mountains. We will tour through rural Japan. A place with deep history going back thousands of years. All seasons show their magic in their full colors here. Escape from the tourist traps and go to where many Japanese go to get away from it all. A place frozen in time. A place magical in its beauty. A place where you can relax away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the tranquility.
The uniqueness of the tour, the importance of the tour is to experience driving through the countryside with the occasional stop a place with a scenic view , a waterfall, lake , shrine or temple.
