This tour is independently operated and is not affiliated with JR East. Samurai Guide Sho’s railway background is part of his personal story and guiding style.
To give you a genuine sense of the park, all park photos shown were taken at the actual park visited on this tour.

For round-trip transportation, it is best to have about ¥3,500 per adult and ¥2,500 per child age 6–11 loaded onto each Suica or PASMO card. Children age 5 and under generally travel free.
Please bring a physical Suica or PASMO card for a smoother Green Car experience. If you are not sure how to charge it, please bring cash on the day and I will help you.
Bicycle rental, boating, and the Park Train are included in the tour price. Activities are selected according to your family’s interests, children’s age and energy level, weather, crowds, and facility availability. Some activities may not be available due to weather, crowd conditions, operating schedules, safety reasons, age restrictions, or other activity requirements.
Travel both ways aboard the JR Chuo Line Green Car (premium seating). Spacious seats, a restroom, and trash bins make the journey calmer for families with children and strollers. Bring bento, snacks, and drinks purchased before boarding to enjoy at your seats. Power outlets are available, so you can charge your phone if you bring a charger, while watching the scenery change together. On the return trip, it becomes a traffic-free “moving lounge” where tired children can sit back and rest.
The day may be adjusted to suit the weather, crowds, opening hours, and your children’s condition and family’s pace.
The tour may include playgrounds, cycling, and boating. Sho will guide with care, but parents or guardians must remain with their children and supervise their health and safety.
Reasonable care will be taken for safety, but the organizer cannot accept responsibility for illness, injuries during normal activities, or loss or damage to personal belongings. Please keep valuables with you.
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate
