Starting in lively Tokyo, one of the world’s largest and most vibrant cities, we’ll visit the fascinating Edo-Tokyo Museum, admire the beautiful Kegon waterfall and explore Tokyo’s oldest temple, the Asakusa Kannon temple.  

Experience traditional Japanese life  
After the hustle and bustle of Tokyo we travel to Hakone and Mt Fuji to experience a more traditional side of Japanese life. Here we stay in old style ryokan accommodation, have a chance to enjoy a hot springs bath and sample a delicious Japanese dinner. We then continue our Japan tour in this region by sky gondola where we will enjoy breathtaking 360 degree views of the volcanic Hakone Mountains.

Understanding the history of Japan
Next we head on to Takayama where we explore the old town and visit the Takayama Jinya, a beautiful traditional Japanese style building.  It’s then onto Hiroshima where we pay a moving visit to the Peace Memorial Park and Atomic Bomb Dome.

Explore the cultural heart of Japan
All aboard Japan’s famous bullet train, our transport to Kyoto, Japan’s former capital and very much the cultural heart of the country. Here our sightseeing will include the Golden Pavillion and the Pure Water Temple. Koyoto is the perfect base from which to venture to Mt Hiei where we enjoy a Japanese tea ceremony and visit a traditional Buddhist sanctuary.
