Meet me at Shinjuku Station in the morning, and we will travel together by train to Okutama. In Okutama, we will spend about 1.5 hours enjoying the area, including a local lunch and a drink.

I will also provide local information and recommendations so you can enjoy your time without worrying about where to go. At the end of the day, we will return together to Shinjuku Station. This tour is a simple and easy way to discover another side of Japan beyond central Tokyo.
