  • 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.
