We used the public tram with the help of a local man who headed us off in the right direction! We got to Minho no Matsubara to see the pine forest, black beach and a great view of Mt Fuji. We took the tram back to town and walked to a tea shop for a tasting of tea and some gifts to take home. It was a great day.
