About this tour
Ancient wooden temples, ultra-modern towers. Zen gardens, neon lights. The blend of old and new in Japan is captivating. In this recently refreshed itinerary, we explore Honshu, the largest Japanese island, and discover the serene shrines and gardens of Kyoto and Nara, plus the rarely visited mountainous heartland of castles and spas. There’s also time to stay in Hiroshima, explore samurai culture in Kanazawa, and enjoy the lakeside town of Kawaguchiko. Our last stop is futuristic Tokyo: sprawling, inimitably busy and extraordinary.
