The staff are very friendly and speak English. They are also very helpful with whatever questions you may have about travelling in Tokyo. We booked the hedgehog & owl cafe package through them and it's actually cheaper to book it through here than you paying at the cafes.
2. Mimamishima

Minamijima Island is an uninhabited island in the southern of Chichijima. This island is designated as a natural monument of Japan. The beach called Ogi-ike was very beautiful with an unique rock gate and the transparent ocean. Water in the Yin-Yo pond is brackish water, unusual algae live. In the spring and autumn seabirds make nests and you can see seabirds fly. Only 100 tourists are able to enter the island a day, and there was limited sojourn time for within 2 hours. In winter, it was the entrance prohibition period.
3. The Hakone Open-Air Museum

Art blends with nature at this huge outdoor sculpture park, where works by both Japanese and Western artists are framed by trees, grass and Mountains.

There are three components to this Open air museum, the statues out doors, the Picasso collection and the collection of small works in the gallery above the cafe. Even one is worth the admission fee, but we got all three. An absolute must do, and what made us choose Hahone as a place to stay during our short Japanese holiday.
4. Haruna Shrine

Reviewed By PinkJamie - Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Haruna Shrine is nestled in the Mountains. Unfortunately we visited in January and it was very crowded. There were lines of cars from both roads leading into the shrine and very little parking. They were sending 5 people at a time to pray because there was even a line up to the shrine itself. However, the atmosphere remained peaceful and I left with good fortune.
5. Nezu Museum

Please check open/close schedule in its official site.

This is a very pretty Museum with different levels of exhibits very nicely done. The Gardens are also beautiful. There’s a gift shop with some really nice items.
6. Tokyo Metro

Looks pretty intimidating, but it's not really. Just plot your course carefully, follow the numbers and colours, and best of all, ask if you're unsure (everyone we encountered was very helpful) and you'll soon get the hang of it. Clean, dependable and PUNCTUAL. When they say the train leaves as 12:36, it leaves at 12:36. We bought the 3-day pass and had a blast discovering off-the-beaten paths all over the city. Best way to get around. So unlike the D.C. Metro system.
