Today, high-speed trains are common worldwide, but the Japanese Shinkansen, or Bullet Train, stands out for its ultra high-speed, comfortable ride, cleanliness, accuracy, and safety. This tour is designed for those interested in experiencing a short ride on the Japanese Bullet Train, with a round trip from Tokyo to Mishima, located at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka Prefecture. You can enjoy a pleasant 45-minute ride on the Bullet Train each way. The tour uses non-reserved seating. We also offer special rates for those with a valid Japan Rail Pass. Upon arrival at Mishima Station, we will explore this beautiful local city, including the 1,300-year-old Shinto shrine, Mishima Taisha, and Rakujuen Park. A knowledgeable English-speaking guide will provide insights into Japanese culture, customs, history, and more.

The guide will pick you up at your hotel in the morning and drop you off at the end of the tour.

    Yoshi was the absolute best!!! He had everything in his little black bag. I fell and scraped my knee, he had a bandaid. He had water for us. Then, it was the hottest day ever, we sit down for lunch and he pulled out a fan!!!! He navigated us thru multiple subways to finally board the bullet train. He was very informative and if you take this tour, ask for him. A++++. We wanted Pokemon cards and he found us a great Pokemon store in one of the subway stations

    Riding on a bullet train was top of our list and this trip gave us that and so much more!! We were collected at our hotel by Yoshi who had been in contact with us several times already and were expertly guided through the maze of rush hour Tokyo train travellers which was an experience in itself. We rode the Metro like locals and then got a tour of the main station and the approach to the Imperial Palace. We hadn’t actually realised that it was a private tour so we had Yoshi to ourselves all day!! We would never have been able to navigate the mass of the people at the station by ourselves nor find the right train etc even if we had managed to get tickets so were very grateful that we had booked the trip. The train is AMAZING!! Such a buzz watching them. Yoshi had thought if everything- offering us a bottle of water and he had a device which showed us the speed of the train which was very exciting. In addition, he gave us a commentary throughout and told us lots about life in Japan. The shrine was beautiful, there were several babies being blessed all wrapped up in silk kimonos- gorgeous. After learning how to make an offering and watching people receive their fortunes we headed for the park / garden via a stop at a shop where Y explained what the items were. (He even bought me some chocolate!) The park was exactly what we imagined a Japan garden would look like. The trees were amazing and we had lunch watching the butterflies dancing. We then headed back to the train before taking another train -The Loop - to return back. Being married to a train buff that was another tick in the box. This tour has been the highlight of our trip and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone. Yoshi was a star and went out of way to make our day the best! Thank you

    A must do tour. If you’re fortunate enough to have Yoshi as your guide, you have the best guide there is! Yoshi went out of his way to accommodate my husband who had an old hip injury flair up; walking was difficult, but Yoshi thought quickly and out of the box, to make this tour more enjoyable than we would have ever thought. The bullet train and Mishima are Japanese experiences you shouldn’t miss.

    Yoshi came to our hotel and we had an excellent day. We experienced the bullet train and arrived at Rakujuen Park in time for a tour of the building within the park. Interesting location and beautiful view from the house of the pond. Yoshi explained how to pray at Mishima Shrine. Found the ritual very spiritual. Yoshi took us to a Sushi restaurant for lunch. He helped us choose from the delicious menu. Enjoyed the experience and managed to use chopsticks. Our day ended with the bullet train back to Tokyo and Yoshi taking us back to our hotel. Yoshi gave us a fantastic day.
