Appreciate the natural beauty of this area as you discover shrines and temples nestled away in the forest, or see the stunning cherry blossoms during sakura season. 

See both the most famous attractions such as the awe-inspiring Daibutsu, the Great Buddha, and Kotokuin Temple as well as getting a little off the beaten path (or hiking trail!) and discovering hidden gems tucked away beyond the tourist sites and beach. 

Spend time getting to know your Local Host, who can give you recommendations for other places you may like to make trips to during your time in Japan, as well as more hidden gems they know you’ll love in Tokyo and the surrounding area.

Your Local Host may also suggest adjustments or new routes if they feel that there is something just around the corner that you may enjoy, or perhaps if the weather affects your itinerary.

Although you’ll visit famous museums and attractions, your Local Host will also help you to discover the places and restaurants that are loved by locals, and that you wouldn’t find a in a guide book.
