There, our guests will enjoy a boat tour on Lake Ashi to take in this magnificent scenery. After a photo stop, we continue by bus to Oshino Hakkai, an area where melting snowmelt combines with underground water to form natural pools. The volcanic rocks naturally filter the water, resulting in crystal-clear pools. These pools, varying in size and depth, offer breathtaking reflections of Mt. Fuji. Following our guided tour, we proceed to Gotemba Premium Outlets, one of Japan's largest outlet shopping centers. After the allocated free time, we transfer back to our hotel for rest and leisure.

After breakfast, we begin our city tour to explore the blend of Tokyo's past and modern life. Our first stop is Senso-ji Temple, one of the city's iconic landmarks located in the Asakusa district. Recognized as Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple, this historic structure was built in honor of Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy, according to legend, after two fishermen discovered her statue. Completed in 645 AD, the temple welcomes visitors through its magnificent Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate). After passing through the gate, we enjoy a pleasant walk along Nakamise Shopping Street, approximately 200 meters long, leading to the temple. This historic street preserves traditional Japanese atmosphere; here you can browse handmade souvenirs, kimonos, folding fans, and various local products. Guests may also sample Asakusa's famous street foods and traditional Japanese flavors. Passing through Hozomon Gate at the end of the street, we visit Senso-ji Temple.

The impressive structure overlooking a large pond features each floor representing a different architectural style. Then, we proceed to Kiyomizu-dera. Kiyomizu-dera is an independent Buddhist temple located in eastern Kyoto. As one of the historic monuments of ancient Tokyo, the temple has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Directly beneath the main hall is the Otowa Waterfall, where water flows into a pond through three channels. According to belief, these channels symbolize knowledge, health, and longevity, respectively. Next, we move to another important temple in the city, Fushimi Inari. Famous as one of Japan's most renowned Shinto shrines and particularly known for its thousands of orange Torii gates, after visiting this shrine, we proceed to our final stop: Fushimi Inari Taisha, which is also listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
