Zen Experience + Gotemba Local Hidden Gems & Culture Tour

What to expect

Gotemba is a place that celebrates relaxed living, and friendly service. While traveling around Japan this is a great experience to learn more about dining and drinking culture and customs and connect with locals along the way!

Gotemba is a hidden gem and yet it is an easy day trip or wonderful overnight excursion from Tokyo.
On our full-day (6 hours) tour you will discover the best local and hidden experiences. Try local specialties in two different locations around the Gotemba area. Explore and connect with the spirit of one of Japan’s friendliest cities.
For lunch, we will enjoy a special soba noodle dish, a variation on one of Japan’s most popular foods. Then you will visit a special zen temple unlike anything you can see in other parts of Japan. And immerse yourself in your own zen experience. After you are fully relaxed and inspired we will visit a local brewery and winery spot and try some craft beverages. Feeling refreshed it will be time to visit a master artisan and make your own traditional and all-natural indigo-dyed souvenirs to bring back with you as a special memory from your unforgettable journey.
