Japan offers an exceptional blend of ancient traditions and cutting-edge modernity. This expertly crafted itinerary takes you on a journey across the country's most fascinating destinations, ensuring your travel logistics are entirely taken care of, from the kinetic energy of Tokyo to the historical depth of Kyoto and the profound resilience of Hiroshima. With every detail meticulously planned, you can simply settle into your seat on the Shinkansen bullet train and watch the spectacular landscape unfold.
  • Your itinerary includes exclusive access to some of the country's most recognisable sights. You’ll walk through the impressive grounds of Tokyo's historic Senso-ji Temple, admire the brilliant white facade of the 17th-century Himeji Castle, and take a ferry across the Seto Inland Sea to view the iconic floating Torii gate on Miyajima Island. On clear days, the train journey itself provides exceptional views of Mount Fuji towering over the horizon.

  • This memorable trip incorporates unique interactions that go beyond standard sightseeing. You’ll share the pathways of Nara Park with hundreds of friendly, free-roaming Sika deer, master the delicate art of origami, and learn the precise, mindful preparation involved in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Even riding the Shinkansen, with its legendary punctuality and smooth ride, is an unforgettable authentic local experience.

  • Japan is a paradise for refined palates, and this journey ensures you sample its finest offerings. You’ll get to savour everything from premium, multi-course kaiseki dining in traditional restaurants to the irresistible street food of Osaka. An evening walk through Osaka's famous Dotonbori district offers the perfect opportunity to try authentic takoyaki (octopus dumplings) and okonomiyaki (savoury pancakes) right where they originated.

  • If you like, you can take part in authentic Japanese craft and culinary traditions during this trip. Join a skilled gold leaf artisan in a family-run workshop, learning about the delicate process of creating gold leaf and what it's used for before trying it yourself. Explore the art of washi paper making and get hands-on with this age-old technique, producing your own sheets in the traditional style. And why not complete the experience with a visit to a historic miso house, where you'll uncover the secrets behind Japan's essential seasoning and sample its nuanced flavours.
