What you can expect

Step off the ship and into living history. This exclusive private tour takes you into Tesshu-ji Temple — proudly bearing the legendary Tokugawa family crest of the shogunate dynasty that ruled Japan for over 260 years.
Enter through the grand gate past powerful Nio guardian statues, then savor matcha and traditional wagashi in elegant tranquility. Experience private Zazen meditation before a 1,000-year-old Bodhisattva, finding stillness and inner clarity. Then ring the temple's historic bell — a remarkable survivor of WWII, protected by its revered Tokugawa heritage — as its pure tone drifts toward the majestic Mount Fuji. And with Fuji's breathtaking silhouette gracing the temple grounds, your guide captures the perfect sacred moment — a memory as timeless as the temple itself.
Finally, receive a hand-written Goshuin sacred seal with your name and date — a one-of-a-kind spiritual keepsake, yours to treasure forever.
The grand finale? Shimizu Marine Park, where your guide personally captures the ultimate Mount Fuji photograph with the shimmering bay as your stunning backdrop — a second unforgettable Fuji moment to crown your journey.
This is not just sightseeing. This is Japan, felt deeply.
