It will change your image of "Tokyo" in a deeper and more three-dimensional way.
• It will be an unforgettable day as a fun, tasty, refreshing, and fulfilling page of your trip.
• For lunch, you'll dine at a popular local restaurant that's been renovated from an abandoned school. You can choose from several menu items, such as the grilled river fish set meal unique to this region.
• This is a fantastic journey where you can experience Japan's mountain trails and the beauty of its four seasons, including cherry blossoms in spring and maple leaves in autumn.
