Immerse yourself in a day of food, culture, and Zen in the stunning foothills of Mt. Fuji!
Gotemba is a hidden gem, blending rich traditions, breathtaking scenery, and warm hospitality—all just a short trip from Tokyo. This full-day (6-hour) tour takes you off the beaten path to discover the best local experiences, flavors, and crafts that make this area so special.
Start your journey by tasting Gotemba’s local specialties at two handpicked locations, where the flavors of the region shine. Then, savor a unique take on soba noodles—a beloved Japanese dish made with local ingredients and served in a way you won’t find anywhere else.
Next, step into tranquility at a hidden Zen temple, an experience unlike any other in Japan. Breathe in the calming scent of tatami mats, listen to the whisper of the wind through the trees, and immerse yourself in a personal Zen moment.
