Tokyo and Mount Fuji 5 day tour

Planet

Transport:
As you move around Tokyo & to Mount Fuji, you will use forms of public transport which is an effective way to help lower your carbon footprint, mingle with the locals and soak up the scenic views as you make your way to the next location. There is no car travel at all.

A lot of our activities are based on walking from place to place. These walking trips will provide you with light exercise - looking after your well being, while also reducing the carbon footprint on the planet - looking after the planet’s well being!

Accommodation:
All of the places we stay in are locally run and passionate about doing their part when it comes to the environment. On this tour, we stay in a local hostel in the city, close to many local services which we encourage our travellers to use, this way your money goes straight into the local community and economy.

Wildlife:
During the visits to the local parks, such as Arakurayama Sangen Park, the Tenku no Tori Gate and Mother White's Waterfall, we encourage all travellers to follow waste disposal rules – carry out any trash, and use eco-friendly products to avoid pollution. It is important to stick to the designated paths.

Top Tips:
Tap water is safe to drink in Japan so to all of our travellers we suggest packing a reusable water bottle to ensure you have water on hand at all times and help minimize the trail of plastic left behind. There are lots of refill points and most restaurants will also provide water bottle refills. We also recommend packing as light as possible, to help keep your carbon footprint low.

People

Local tour guides:
By hiring local tour guides we help support the local people and provide employment opportunities.

Local experiences:
You’ll learn about the local cuisine with a sushi-making workshop and tantalize your taste buds with an intimate sake-tasting session. If you’re in the mood for some Japanese style entertainment then you can enjoy a sumo display and learn all about how they train and enjoy lunch with them.

As a sign of respect, we think that it is important for travellers to learn a few key words or phrases in the native language, so we offer a written language guide in Japan. We also offer classes to learn about the local culture including a calligraphy class.

All of our customers’ interactions are with local suppliers, and we promote integration between travellers and local people through our “unmissable” included activities and our optional activities, and opportunities for authentic cultural immersion.

Our Adventure Leaders are trained in ensuring that customers are aware of local customs and traditions, educating them on when it is appropriate to take photos and/or videos.
