Ride from Tokyo to Fuji and Hakone on a private motorcycle tour with mountain roads, an onsen, local food, and a flexible guide.
“Excelente. Nos enseñó el Japón profundo y después acabamos en un Onsen perdido en los montes interiores que fue una maravilla. Todo super bonito y las carreteras inmaculadas. Unas curvas perfectas y agradables. Además el guía sabe mucho del país siendo extranjero y se preocupa mucho por sus clientes. Aunque el tráfico de Tokyo es criminal y cuesta 1h30' llegar al sitio pero la excursión merece la pena. No obstante, si eres amante de las motos 100% recomendable.”
