We built this seven-day journey for travelers who want a guided route through Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, and Hakone without the hassle of planning it themselves — in a small group of just 12, far smaller than a typical coach tour. An English-speaking guide leads nearly every day, with free time built in for meals so you can eat where the locals eat. We start in old-town Asakusa and the winter illuminations of Shibuya and Omotesando, then wander Kappabashi’s kitchenware street and Tsukiji Outer Market, try a hands-on samurai experience, and end the evening among the winter lights of Marunouchi. From there we take you to Mt. Fuji country — the mountain framed behind a five-storey pagoda, rising beyond the thatched roofs of Saiko village, and glimpsed again across Lake Ashi — with a night at a hot spring hotel in Hakone, a visit to Hakone Shrine’s red torii gate rising from the water, a cruise across the lake, and a ropeway to Ōwakudani, a steaming volcanic valley. We close back in Tokyo in Ginza and at teamLab Borderless, one of the city’s most immersive digital art museums, where light, flowers, and waterfalls spill across the walls and shift as you move through them — and spend one last evening among the winter lights of Roppongi Hills.
