This experience is not about playing around with the samurai gear, but sensing and understanding the values prized by samurai. Here is the testimony by one of our guests. "At the beginning of the experience, I was surprised. Rather than learning how to cut a rolled straw mat or fight with a wooden sword, the first thing I learned was the proper etiquette towards the sword and the fundamentals of bushido (the way of samurai). In addition, the master touched on the courtesy and discipline samurai valued. We tend to think samurai is an indomitable man taking down an enemy bravely. Yet, within the first ten minutes of my experience, I realized that my image was flawed. Drawing the sword or attacking an enemy was not a decision that a samurai made lightly. It was a last resort. A truly strong samurai was able to resolve issues diplomatically through discussion, and also happened to be so skilled with the sword that others did not want to pick a fight."

This tour will take you to Mt.Fuji, the tallest mountain in Japan, with its peak reaching 12,388feet(3,776m). The trekking trail starts after the ride to the “5th station”. From there, following the trail together with your chauffeur – guide, you will climb up to the “7th station”, where your effort will be rewarded with a breathtaking mountain view of the area. If you wish to hike all the way to the summit, rest assured that we can also arrange it for you! We kindly recommend you to wear comfortable clothing and appropriate footwear (hiking/trekking shoes). Please let us know if you need trekking poles. The guide will bring trekking poles on the day of the tour. Mt. Fuji has been a great influence on the Japanese people's view of nature and Japanese culture. In 2013, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site. After climbing Mt. Fuji, you will be able to find yourself as you have grown both physically and mentally.

"It's my first time visiting Akihabara, but I have no idea how to have real experiences I saw in anime..." "I really wanna have an Akiba experience but I'm running out of time..." "There's something I wanna get, but have no idea how/where to buy..." For those who have such demands, I offer the tour that you can finish within 5 hours! After meeting at JR Akihabara station and a short introduction, we'll go around places. As a native Japanese Otaku, I'm sure that I can give you the right information related to Akihabara. Also, we'll go to a maid cafe that I recommend the most out of 10 kinds of maid cafes I experienced in Akihabara, which is not well-known but is a must-see in my opinion! I recommend you prepare some wishlists of what you're looking for/where you want to go, so I can arrange the tour as you'd like!
