This Japan tour takes you through a mix of city life, natural beauty, and traditional culture. Start in Tokyo, where modernity meets tradition. Visit spots like the Tokyo Tower, the serene Meiji Shrine, and the trendy districts of Shibuya and Shinjuku. Enjoy the contrast between the city’s towering skyscrapers and peaceful temples nestled among the urban landscape.

The site is surrounded by lush forests, and its beauty is heightened by the peaceful atmosphere of the area. The sacred shrines and natural surroundings offer a perfect balance of tranquility and culture. Next, travel to Hakone, a popular destination for its hot springs and picturesque views of Mount Fuji. Take a relaxing boat ride on Lake Ashi where the natural beauty of this area provides a serene escape from the busy cities. Continue to Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, where you can walk through its famous temples and traditional gardens. The Golden Pavilion, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and the bamboo groves of Arashiyama offer a glimpse into Japan’s spiritual and natural landscapes. Visit Nara, a small city filled with large, impressive temples like Todaiji Temple and the peaceful Nara Park, where wild deer roam freely. End your tour in Osaka, a lively city known for its modern architecture, entertainment scene, and delicious street food.

TEA CEREMONY Step into a tatami room in Kyoto and take part in a tea ceremony that has been passed down through generations. A tea master will be there with you, to guide you through each step of the process, explaining the meaning behind every precise movement involved in preparing matcha. It’s more than just drinking tea; it’s about mindfulness, respect, and connecting with a tradition endured for centuries. The peaceful, simple surroundings provide the perfect space to reflect on the deeper significance of this time-honored practice.

Guided City Tour of TokyoYour first day in Tokyo will consist of a fully guided tour of the most authentic hotspots of Tokyo that represent its Japanese history and culture. The tour will feature sightseeing as well as entry into some of the country's prestigious pieces of Japanese architecture such as the Meiji Shrine and the Sensoji Temple. Meiji Shrine is a serene Shinto sanctuary dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Surrounded by a lush forest, it provides a peaceful retreat from the city's fast pace. Sensoji Temple, Tokyo's oldest temple, sits in Asakusa and is dedicated to the Bodhisattva Kannon. Known for its grand gate and bustling shopping street, it remains an important site for both locals and visitors seeking spiritual solace. Tokyo has several government-run observatories that offer public access for stargazing and educational purposes which you will also have the opportunity to visit. These observatories provide opportunities for the public to learn about astronomy, weather, and the science behind these fields. However, many are more research-focused and may require special permission or scheduled events to visit. Later, you will be taken through Nakamise Shopping Street, the Ginza district, and the beautiful Imperial Palace Square and Nijubashi Bridge, all of which will have photo stops for your memories.
