Meet your guide at Shinjuku Station for train ride toward the coast. There, you’ll transfer to the historic Enoden train line. This charming vintage train clatters along the Pacific coast, offering stunning ocean views and glances of surfing villages (and Mount Fuji on clear days!).

First stop: Hase-dera, the "Temple of Flowers." Explore its gorgeous gardens, hidden candle-lit caves, and a panoramic terrace overlooking Sagami Bay.
