JAPAN · HIGH-SPEED TRAINS IN JAPAN

See Mount Fuji, Lake Ashi, Hakone, a drum show, and return to Tokyo by Shinkansen on this full-day guided excursion.
“It’s a train ride, a very FAST TRAIN RIDE! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. A surprisingly comfortable albeit uneventful.”
Review of Tokyo’s Mt. Fuji and Hakone day tour, with the 5th Station, ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, buffet lunch, and bullet train return.
“Well worth the early start. We had an amazing day at Fuji and Hikone. We got lucky with the weather so had some stunning views of and from Fuji, along with a great cable car ride and boat cruise. Yui was an amazing tour guide and told us lots of interesting information during the bus rides.”
Review of the Mt. Fuji and Hakone day trip from Tokyo, with ropeway, Lake Ashi cruise, lunch, coach travel, and bullet train return.
“Excellent day, guide (EMI), was great 😊 Very knowledgeable and friendly Worth doing just to see Mt. Fuji”
Ride the bullet train from Tokyo to Nagano, tour a miso brewery, stroll Obuse, and meet snow monkeys at Jigokudani.
“Good value. It includes Shinkansen ticket from Tokyo to Nagano round trip plus lunch. Better to go there between December and March when the temperature is low. You will then see the monkey dipping in the hot spring. 45min walk from the drop off point to the monkey hot spring spa. Awesome experience. Do not bring any food even in plastic bag.”
By the kind of train, or by the country it runs through.
