Tour Description

Konnichiwa, Japan! We may only have a week, but what a week it is. Kicking things off in Tokyo - an orchestra of light, sound and history - we’ll travel (like locals) on the metro, with guided temple tours before whizzing to Kyoto on a bullet train. Here, we'll walk through zen gardens, explore mystical temples and spot Geishas. And finally, wrap it all up in Osaka, with loads of free time to feast on street food, explore the city or just soak it all in. Filled with a dazzling fusion of modern spectacle and ancient charm, this trip is the best way to see Japan in a week.

Itinerary

Arrive Tokyo
Day 1
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Daiichi Ryogoku Hotel (or similar)
Konnichiwa, Tokyo! Welcome to this dazzling orchestra of light, sound and intersecting subway lines. Meet your crew, get the trip vibes flowing, then your evening’s yours.
Tokyo
Day 2
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Daiichi Ryogoku Hotel (or similar)
Today we'll get ready to uncover Tokyo (on the metro!). We'll kick off with the ancient Buddhist temple of Asakusa Senso-ji & the famous Meiji Jingu shrine. And then, you have a free afternoon to discover the wild fashion of Harajuku & the shopping district of Nakamise Street, or take to the streets of Shibuya for an attempt to cross the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world.
Tokyo
Day 3
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Daiichi Ryogoku Hotel (or similar)
Today’s yours to do Tokyo your way (just remember to top up your transport card before you head out). Dive into everything the city does best, from neon streets and anime hubs to museums, parks, and food spots. There’s a couple of optional experiences on offer too. First up, a robot cafe where robots deliver your drinks and each table has an avatar you can chat with, piloted by people with disabilities who can’t work in a traditional setting. Then tonight (since it’s our last evening in Tokyo), it’s the perfect time to check out a Maid Cafe in Akihabara, Tokyo's tech paradise.
Tokyo to Kyoto
Day 4
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Ibis Styles Kyoto Station (or similar)
Today it's time to take that famous example of Japanese efficiency, the aptly named bullet train. Our train will whizz us past the iconic Mount Fuji, of which we'll hopefully grab a glimpse before heading to Kinkaku-ji and Fushimi Inari Shrine. With no time to waste, we'll hop on our private coach for a sightseeing tour, exploring this glorious showcase of ancient Japan.
Kyoto
Day 5
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Ibis Styles Kyoto Station (or similar)
Today is yours to walk the sublime gardens, explore mystical temples and marvel at the architecture of this unforgettable city. We recommend taking the opportunity for a half-day trip to Nara, where you'll find the towering 8th century Great Buddha, as well as numerous examples of beautiful shrines and temples, alongside the roaming, slightly cheeky deer.
Kyoto
Day 6
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Ibis Styles Kyoto Station (or similar)
There is still so much to see in Kyoto. Don a kimono and check out the bamboo forest, take some photos at the iconic Yasaka Pagoda or spot Geishas in the Gion district. Don't forget to sign up for the optional traditional tea ceremony and enjoy a cup of matcha tea.
Kyoto to Osaka
Day 7
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Ibis Budget Osaka Umeda (or similar)
It's just a short trip on the metro to Osaka this morning... And we have the whole day to explore. Check out Osaka castle or simply wander down Dotonbori tasting all of the delicious street food.
Osaka
Day 8
Duration: 1
And just like that, the trip’s a wrap. Grab some brekkie, say your goodbyes, and soak up the final feels. Sticking around in Osaka? Lucky you - there’s still time to dive into this city’s epic food, culture, and you can’t forget Universal Studios. See ya soon!
