- Itinerary Introduction -


  • Tamawara Ski Resort (Options A and B: Winter departures only)

A super popular ski resort that you can visit in a day from Tokyo! This small
but complete ski resort has a children's playground with a variety of snow
play activities such as sleds, skis, and snow shovels, and even a conveyor
belt mountain trail, so everyone can have a relaxed and carefree time.


  • Yuyuan Lavender Garden & Maple Leaf Broom Grass Garden (Options C and D: Summer to early autumn only)

Yuhara Ski Resort, a ski resort in winter, transforms into the largest
lavender garden in the Kanto region in summer. Located at an altitude of 1300
meters, the resort boasts approximately 50,000 lavender plants. Thanks to its
high altitude, the area remains cool even in summer, making it a popular
summer retreat. Various lavender products are also sold within the park. In
the height of summer, a visit to the Yuhara Lavender Garden is a must. Buy a
lavender soft serve, stroll through the purple lavender fields swaying in the
breeze, and enjoy the therapeutic experience of being surrounded by lavender
for both your eyes and taste buds. In early autumn, it transforms into a
popular maple and broom grass garden. In summer, the broom grass is fluffy and
soft, but as autumn progresses into mid-to-late September, the green gradually
turns red, resembling a red velvet carpet. The best viewing period is from
late September to early October each year.


  • Blowcut Falls (Options E and F: Autumn departures only)

The 7-meter-high and 30-meter-wide Bukcut Falls is a waterfall formed by a
large fissure created by the erosion of the riverbed rock by the river. It is
also known as the "Niagara Falls of the Orient". Every autumn, the forests on
both sides of the valley are dyed golden and red, which complements the
magnificent waterfall and attracts countless tourists.


※Expected peak season for autumn foliage: Late October to early November


  • Numata Castle Ruins Park (Options G and H: Spring departures only)

Numata Park, located within the Numata Castle Ruins, is famous for its Yoshino
cherry blossoms, particularly the iconic "Gotenzakura" trees, which, along
with about 210 other Yoshino cherry trees, create a stunning display of pink,
white, and crimson hues that attracts many locals and tourists alike. The
annual cherry blossom festival held in mid-April features lanterns hanging
under the cherry trees, adding a touch of vintage charm.


*Expected cherry blossom viewing period: early April to mid-to-late April


  • Harada Farm

Harada Farm is located in Gunma Prefecture, an hour and a half from Tokyo. It
is a well-known tourist fruit orchard and factory in Gunma and is known as
"the village of fruit". In autumn, winter and spring, there are various
varieties of strawberries in the greenhouse, while in summer there are
cherries, peaches, grapes and apples. Here you can experience the fun of fruit
picking and enjoy the sweet taste of seasonal fruits!


*The strawberry season is from late October to early June of the following year; the cherry season is from early June to mid-July; the peach season is from mid-July to early September; the grape season is from mid-August to mid-October; and the apple season is from late August to early December.


※The types of fruit picked depend on the season and weather conditions, and
should be based on the items provided by the orchard on site.


※If Harada Farm is closed or fruit picking services are unavailable due to
insufficient fruit production, fruit picking services will be provided at
other nearby tourist orchards.


  • Oedokawagoe

It is a city that prospered as a castle town of the Kawagoe Domain during the
Edo period. It has preserved many historical streets and temples left over
from the Edo period, and is full of nostalgia. Therefore, it is also known as
Little Edo. The entire city has been designated as a "Preservation District
for Traditional Buildings in Japan" and attracts many tourists every year.


  • Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine

With a history of 1500 years, Hikawa Shrine preserves many important
historical and cultural properties of Japan, and has therefore been registered
as a designated cultural property. Hikawa Shrine is also extremely famous for
praying for good fortune in love, marriage, and family. Don't forget to fish
for the unique sea bream-shaped fortune slips at the temple; if you're looking
for a partner, don't miss it! In spring, you can enjoy the 300-meter-long
cherry blossom embankment along the Hikawa Bridge next to the shrine, where
the delicate pink cherry blossoms are reflected on the river surface, creating
a romantic scene.


*Expected cherry blossom viewing period: early April to mid-to-late April
