It also features a moving walkway (conveyor belt lift), making it easy and stress-free for everyone to enjoy.

  • Tambara Lavender Park (Plans C & D: Summer departures only)

Tambara Ski Park, which serves as a ski resort in winter, transforms into the largest lavender park in the Kanto region during the summer. Located on a highland 1,300 meters above sea level, it features approximately 50,000 lavender plants. Due to the high altitude, it remains cool even in summer, making it a famous summer retreat. The park also sells various lavender products. Visit the Tambara Lavender Park in midsummer, grab a lavender soft-serve ice cream, and stroll through the purple lavender fields as the breeze blows, enjoying a healing experience that delights both your eyes and taste buds.

  • Fukiware Falls (Plans E & F: Autumn departures only)

Standing 7 meters high and 30 meters wide, Fukiware Falls is formed by a large crack in the riverbed rock eroded by water, earning it the nickname 'Niagara of the Orient.' Every autumn, the forests on both sides of the valley are dyed in golden and vibrant red hues, creating a stunning contrast with the magnificent waterfall that attracts countless visitors.

※ Estimated autumn foliage period: Late October to early November


  • Numata Castle Ruins Park (Plans G & H: Spring departures only)

Located within the ruins of Numata Castle, Numata Park is home to about 210 Yoshino cherry trees, centered around the park's iconic 'Goten-zakura' cherry tree. The scenery, woven with shades of pink and white, attracts many locals and tourists alike. During the cherry blossom festival held in the park in mid-April, lanterns are hung under the trees, creating a unique and nostalgic atmosphere.

※ Estimated cherry blossom viewing period: Early April to mid-late April


  • Harada Farm

Located in Gunma, about an hour and a half from Tokyo, Harada Farm is a famous tourist orchard known as the 'Fruit Village.'

  • Kawagoe Old Town (Koedo Kawagoe)

A city that flourished as a castle town of the Kawagoe Domain during the Edo period, it retains many historical streets and temples from that era. Filled with a nostalgic atmosphere, it is known as 'Little Edo' (Koedo). The entire city is designated as a 'Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in Japan,' attracting many tourists every year.

  • Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine (Plans C, D, E, F, G, & H only)

With a 1,500-year history, Hikawa Shrine preserves many important Japanese cultural assets and is registered as a designated cultural heritage site. It is also a very famous shrine for praying for good relationships, marital bliss, and family harmony. Don't forget to try the unique sea bream-shaped fortune slips (omikuji) at the shrine—a must-try for those seeking good luck in love! In spring, you can enjoy the romantic scenery of cherry blossoms stretching 300 meters along the riverbank by the Hikawa Bridge, with the pink blossoms reflected on the water's surface.
