The trails you'll follow are largely unknown to tourists and offer opportunities to relax in the quiet beauty of the outdoors. You'll walk among wild cherry and azalea trees that bloom in spring and see maples and oaks whose leaves turn red and yellow in fall. As you hike, our guide clues you in to the local plants, animals and geology and answers your questions about Japanese society and culture.
After the hike, you'll bike around a scenic lake whose incredibly transparent waters are surrounded by picturesque mountains. We pause during the bike ride to walk down to a beach where Mt Fuji is often reflected on the mirror-like surface of the lake, creating a spectacular "double Fuji" image.
Although the lakeside bike route is mostly flat, much of the hiking course is uphill and so will only be a good match if you have at least an above-average level of fitness. Those with an average or low level of fitness should select a different tour.
