The meeting point is in front of the Apple Marunouchi Store near Tokyo Station.

Our guide will travel with you, and we will need to coordinate in advance. (Those with JR Passes will have a tour price reduction, please contact us directly before booking.

If you have a bit more time to travel arrive the day before and you can take the local train from Shin-Fuji to Fujinomiya and stay overnight at one of the local inns, or guest houses. Please let us know how and when you will arrive. We can adjust pricing accordingly.

We suggest wearing comfortable shoes as there will be walking involved.
