Full-day Tahara Sightseeing Tour

Tahara has a custom called Tahara kite which has been continuing since Edo period. When a boy is born, we give him a kite with his name on it as a present. It is so popular that Tahara Kite Festival is held on the weekend at the end of May every year. In this tour, local people teach us how to make kites, and we walk through the Gongen Forest, which is full of beautiful nature. In Japan, we call it “Shinrin-yoku”, or forest bathing, is a term that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” for therapeutic results. If you are lucky, you may see the view of Mt. Fuji on the top of the mountain. After relaxing walk a whilst, enjoy all-you-can-eat buffet lunch at a popular hotel, 8 kinds of baths with a spectacular view bath that is integrated with the sea. On the way back to your accomodation, we will stop by at fruit farms where we can enjoy picking seasonal fruits such as strawberries and melons.
