ONE DAY TOUR
Followings are the selection of day-trip from downtown Tokyo. Try not to fix date(s) so that you will be able to go when you wake up with blue sky. Especially Mt.Fuji, no one wants to visit Hakone and Five Lake Area when cloud blocks your visibility.
Mt.Fuji Nikko National Park Kamakura Daibutsu Hakone Ashinoko Lake
Mt. FUJI
The mountain, of course! Perfect shape with hight at 3,776 meter. The symbol of Japan. Official climbing season is for July and August, although, January and February has the cleanest air with longest visivilities, you may see Mt.Fuji even from Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Building, Roppongi Hills, Tokyo Tower, Haneda Airport and more. Evangelion fan, pleas do not miss Fuji-Q Highland for the Eva Museum because we are sure that you will be excited riding on ENTRY PLUG !
