A real journey we've designed and operated — fully customizable to your interests, pace, and party size.
A complete journey across Japan's most iconic destinations.
From the neon of Tokyo to the floating torii of Miyajima — by private car, bullet train, and on foot. Cherry blossoms or autumn leaves, your call.
Begin in the world's largest metropolis.
Five full days to ease into Japan — from the futurist density of Shibuya and Shinjuku, to the historic streets of Asakusa and Yokohama, to a private-car day trip into the steam and mountains of Hakone with views of Mt. Fuji.
Samurai districts and UNESCO villages.
Bullet train west to "Little Kyoto" — Kanazawa, a city of preserved samurai homes, geisha teahouses, gold-leaf craft, and Kenrokuen, one of Japan's three great gardens. From here, a day trip into the mountain villages of Gokayama and Shirakawa-go.
Five days in the heartland of Japanese culture.
Limited express to Kyoto and a base of five nights at a thoughtfully chosen hotel near the station. The ancient capital from every angle — temples and Zen gardens, bamboo groves, geisha quarters, kaiseki dining, tea ceremony, plus a day trip to Nara to walk among Japan's earliest temples and its sacred deer.
From kitchen-of-the-nation to a floating torii.
The final three days. A morning at Kyoto's Nijo Castle with its famous "nightingale floors," then south to Osaka for two nights — Osaka Castle, the canal-lit chaos of Dotonbori, takoyaki and kushikatsu. From Osaka, a long day to Hiroshima for the Peace Memorial Park and onward to the floating torii of Miyajima.
That's the norm. Tell us what you're imagining — number of days, regions, interests, pace — and we'll start from a blank page.
