Japan is pretty much all highlights. Because of its unique culture and way of life, every single thing is interesting, from standing in a 7-11 looking at the different snack foods, to the vast underground malls in most of the rail stations. A visit to Japan is about opening yourself to everything and just soaking it all in. 

Tokyo is incredible and with 3 days there, you will only see a fraction of it, such is the size of the city. However, we are doing our best to make sure you see as much as possible, so we have a full-day tour that is going to showcase as much as we can fit in. You will see Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine, the Imperial Palace and Senso-Ji Temple in Asakusa to show you the traditional side of the city. Then you will get a couple of unique views of the city from the tallest tower in the world, the Tokyo Sky Tree and then from the water on a unique Tokyo Bay Cruise.

In Tokyo, we matched its intensity with the intensity of our tour. In Kyoto, our tour matches its tranquillity. When you step off the Shinkansen, you will head to a local bike tour operator (optional), who will guide you through the backstreets and geisha districts of Kyoto. In the second half of the optional tour, you will cycle along the tranquil Shirakawa River, past wooden houses and willow trees before finishing up in Kyoto Imperial Palace Park.

Your trip begins in the wonderful city of Tokyo where you will spend a couple of days exploring. From there you jump on the Shinkansen over to stunning Kyoto before being transferred to Osaka to catch your onward flight.
