Here is the selection of day-trip based
in Tokyo. Especially Mt.Fuji, no one wants to visit
Hakone and Five Lake Area when cloud blocks
your visibility. It is better try not to fix date(s) so that
you will be able to go when you wake up with
blue sky. Just in case...rainy day can fruit
yourself in museums and department stores
in downtown as well. Please have this page
app to your mobile so that you can consider
living in Tokyo! Tokyo sightseeing spots
links at TOKYO GUIDE. And 14-days-of Tokyo is here. |
