The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
A fully private, chauffeur-driven day with a licensed English-speaking guide — chase the iconic reflection of Fuji over UNESCO-listed Miho no Matsubara's pine-fringed shore, then explore at your own pace.
Ascend to the Nihondaira Plateau — Japan's most celebrated green-tea landscape — for sweeping views of Fuji, the Pacific, and terraced tea fields, then glide by ropeway to the ancient Kunozan Toshogu Shrine.
Journey into the volcanic heart of Hakone — crater lake, sulfurous Owakudani vents, and the world-class Hakone Open-Air Museum — on a private full-day tour that rivals any day trip in all Japan.
Trace the legacy of Tokugawa Ieyasu — Japan's greatest shogun — from his restored Sunpu Castle keep to a restorative private soak at Atami, one of Japan's most legendary hot-spring resort towns.
Glide across Shimizu's inner harbour on the famous water bus to Miho Beach — a UNESCO World Heritage pine-grove shore with a front-row, unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji rising above Suruga Bay.
A private full-day exploration of the wild Izu Peninsula — volcanic sea caves, dramatic capes, and a hidden onsen resort — the most scenically varied coastline in all of eastern Japan.
