Embarking on this trip will see you landing in Osaka on a Saturday, where your polished 4-star hotel will be awaiting your arrival. Your first night's accommodation will give you an idea of the level of accommodation you should expect on your trip; a mix between the traditional and modern with a continuous high level of comfort. 

From Osaka, a comfortable train journey will take you to Fukuoka - the place where you'll get to meet the rest of the small group joining you for the 6-night tour around Kyushu Island. You'll get to experience a bit of everything, from iconic and historic thermal waters (known as the Hells of Beppu) to Japan's largest active volcano, Nagasaki Bomb Museum, villages hidden deep in the mountains, and an array of other spots and activities. This is all without mentioning the deep Japanese culinary experience, made up of six breakfasts and lunch, along with four complimentary dinners as explained in the itinerary. Some of the mouth-watering dishes include Pork Shabu-Shabu, Guzoni, and the multi-course Kaiseki Ryori. 

Following Kyushu Island, you'll have the option to upgrade to 2 additional nights in Hiroshima. The city is definitely worth visiting, especially because its name will forever conjure up visions of the atomic bomb strike in 1945. Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima serves as a continual remembrance of that fateful day, attracting tourists from all over the globe with its inspiring message of unity and peace. And the lush city is far from dismal, with its spacious boulevards and laid-back hospitality. Hiroshima now is home to a bustling cosmopolitan society, and it's well worth spending a few nights here to see and experience the city.

Osaka, Kyushu, Hiroshima ... we couldn't possibly leave out Japan's cultural capital - Kyoto. Spending two nights at the gorgeous Kyoto Tower Hotel will be just splendid to get a real feel of the city, all while taking full advantage of the included 1-hour Walking Tour of Fushimi Inari Shrine and entry up to the Kyoto Tower. Rest assured that you'll have plenty of time for you to wander at your leisure, to discover each place as you roam along well-worn routes. Travel Japan in the best way, experience all the iconic locations, spend time exploring beautiful Kyushu Island, and travelling completely stress free. How else would you do it? 

Your tour of Japan and Kyushu Island begins and ends in the street food capital of Japan, Osaka. You’ll likely land in Osaka International Airport (ITM), and from here you can easily make your way to your first night's accommodation, just a 15 minute taxi or uber. Enjoy a night in Osaka before jumping into your small group tour. The Japan and Kyushu Island Tour will take you all over, from the gastronomic delights of Fukuoka, to the hot springs above Beppu City, the sobering Nagasaki Museum and Peace Park, and even a hands on green tea class in Ureshino. You’ll be travelling via comfortable coaches, train journeys and a number of immersive walking tours, all hand selected to ensure you get the best out of your Japanese experience. Your tour ends with a night's accommodation in Osaka, where you are free to explore this wonderful city at your own leisure. Make your way back to Osaka International Airport (ITM) and begin your return journey home, reminiscing the entire way about your incredible 11 day tour through Japan and Kyushu Island.
