The highlights in Japan are crazy. Honestly, we could just write about one district in Tokyo for this and you would be more than satisfied with the highlights you have seen, but we have packed in so much more on this incredible trip.  

Tokyo and Kyoto are obvious highlights. Intense, dynamic cities that with their massive populations should seem overcrowded and uncomfortable, but in reality are full of pleasant green spaces, hidden shrines and not the crowds that you are expecting. Unless of course, you decide to get on a rush-hour train, which is a great cultural experience in itself! The amount of things to see and do in these two landmark cities are genuinely endless, so it's just about figuring out what is best for you and zeroing in on those particular highlights.  

However, what we really love about this trip is the stops in Kanazawa and Takayama. Lesser known, but filled with cultural riches and a much more laid-back pace of life, these cities hark back to the older, more traditional side of Japan, but still keeping one eye on the future.  Strolling through Kanazawa’s Higashi Chaya district, with its wooden shuttered tea houses, intensity of fine craftsmanship and the occasional geisha sighting, is a sheer delight.

Your trip begins in Tokyo, where you have a couple of days to pack in everything you can. From there, you travel via Mt Fuji, up to Takayama. Then it is on to Kanazawa before heading down to Kyoto to finish off your trip in style.
