Day 3: Tokyo

Today, you have tickets to visit the other-worldly Skytree. In your own time, make your way to this emblematic broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida. In 2010 it became the tallest structure in Japan at 2080 feet, and offers the most spectacular views of the cit...

Day 4: Tokyo

Spend the day exploring Tokyo's fascinating cityscape at your leisure. Why not visit the famous Shibuya district, known for being a center of youth fashion and culture, a birthplace of many of Tokyo’s trends. Next, why not explore the neon-lit East Shinjuku to experie...

Day 6: Tokyo - Kyoto

Day 7: Kyoto

Set off this morning on a Kyoto Highlights Full-Day Bus Tour to discover the beautiful and historical ‘cultural capital’ of Japan. On this exciting excursion you’ll visit the Fushimi Inari, the most important of the many shrines dedicated to Inari, the deity of good h...

Day 8: Kyoto

Spend today at your leisure, exploring the delights of Kyoto at your own pace. Why not discover the more zen side of the city, for instance the peaceful Higashiyama district, or Nijo Castle. We recommend The Philosopher's Walk, a beautiful footpath along a cherry-tree-lined canal, between Ginkaku-ji and Nanzen-ji Temple. Overnight stay in Kyoto.

Day 9: Kyoto - Osaka

Today, take a local train to travel to Osaka. Upon arrival, the rest of the day is free to discover this charming city.

Overnight stay in Osaka.
