experiences...

Kawagoe - Little Edo Full-Day Private Tour

Tokyo

Stroll through Kawagoe, famous for its old storehouse merchant buildings, ancient temples, shrines and castlesAfter a trip back in history, a short walk will get you to Kashiya Yokocho, a stone-paved shopping lane lined with stores that sell traditional Japanese sweets. Here you can discover and enjoy all kinds of traditional Japanese desserts, alongside modern candies and ice cream.

Discova the difference

Kawagoe is just 30 minutes by train from central Tokyo and is perfect for a day trip away from the hustle bustle of a big city to enjoy historical sites, traditional shops and seasonal weekend events.

Yudanaka Half-Day Private Morning Tour

Nagano

The Jigokudani Monkey Park is the only place in the world to see Japanese macaques bathe in hot springs. The park is less than one hour from Nagano City by bus but, before reaching the park, you will need to walk through the forest for 30 minutes. After arriving, enjoy the sight of monkeys playing around the water and inside the hot spring. Take a bus ride to Yudanaka to enjoy a hot-spring (onsen) experience of your own!

Discova the difference

Travellers who aren’t keen on having a full onsen experience can soak in the area’s hot spring water at a free footbath located right outside the Yudanaka train station before proceeding to see the Sekai Heiwa Kannon, an imposing 25 meters Buddha statue that is a short trek away!
