Feel the Spirit of Wa和 by Wearing Modern Kimono Fashion
You can learn and feel about the basic Japanese spirit and values of "WA和" (harmony) by learning how to wear a modern style kimono for daily use.
We will meet at Edogawa Station on the Keisei line and then head to my house. First, I will share with you the real meaning of "WA" using a small textbook I have prepared. After you have learned about "WA", we will choose a kimono and you will learn how to wear it properly for daily use. I will help you choose the right kimono and show you how to wear it in a modern style with your own accessories, if you bring any.
Then, we will take a train to Shibamata and show off your Neo kimono style. We will visit a temple from Edo era and a retro big house from the Taisho era. At the retro big house, you can try matcha tea with Japanese sweets for an additional cost of 600 yen.
My experience is not just about wearing a kimono. I really want you to understand and feel the essence of "WA". "WA" is a unique concept that is difficult to understand just by learning about it, so I hope you will experience it through wearing a kimono.
If you would like to wear any personal accessories with the kimono, please bring them along. Also, please wear comfortable shoes; boots usually look nice with a kimono.
Please note that I have a Japanese mixed breed dog in my house. If you have allergies, please be aware that there may be dog hair present.

Interested in watching a serious practice of Japan's national sport, Sumo?
This is a great opportunity to watch sumo wrestlers' serious practice and training from a short distance.
Feel the sumo world and observe how the practice is usually done. This experience will certainly be unforgettable.
Once you meet with me, I will take you to the sumo stable and I will briefly explain how sumo wrestlers practice and basic information about sumo. Not only basic information but also a secret story of sumo wrestlers that I want to share with you. After you watch a practice, you will have a chance to take pictures with them!
PLEASE NOTE:
- If my schedule became not available, I will arrange an alternative guide for you. She is a licensed professional guide and has information about sumo as much as I do!
- There is no practice in Tokyo in March, July, and November as all Sumo wrestlers will be away from Tokyo due to a tournament in the local area.
- Meeting point and time is subject to change due to sudden changes and condition of Sumo stable. Please make sure to check Airbnb chat message box before you leave from your accommodation.

Those actions are prohibited during watching their practice.

2. Eating/drinking
3. Using mobile phone (Photo is ok)
*Tour duration is subject to change to 1 hour or 3 hours due to the condition of Sumo wrestlers *
E-Bike Tour of Mount Fuji's Countryside and Lake
This is a small-group e-bike tour in the highlands at the foot of Mt. Fuji, designed to avoid crowds and take you to places off the beaten path. Experience nature at the foot of the mountain and get a glimpse into the local lifestyle.
The tour starts from Mt.Fuji Station, Fujikyuko Line and heads to Oshino Village, passing by "Oshino Hakkai," a pond fed by underground water from Mt. Fuji, houses with thatched roofs, and spacious countryside with a panoramic view of Mt. Fuji. Afterward, we'll head to Lake Yamanakako and have lunch at a charming restaurant that serves Japanese home-style cuisine. Weather permitting, you'll enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Yamanaka and Mt. Fuji from Fujimi Panorama-dai. The tour is about 30 km long and requires a certain level of physical fitness, but TREK's high-performance e-bikes will assist you well. Your guide will adjust the e-bike speed to accommodate your needs.
