Tokyo

Tokyo is a whirlwind of colour, neon lights and fast lifestyle. While in Hakone you can explore the area's famous sulphur pools. In Takayma there is chance to visit traditional inns and sake breweries, plus a morning market. Mixed emotions prevail in Hiroshima as you discover its tragic past and visit the serene peace park.

Travel by train

Travelling by train in Japan is a fantastic experience. The trains are fast, punctual and clean. They even have recycling bins on board for paper, cans and bottles. A trip on a Shinkansen or bullet train is exhilerating as you reach great speeds of 270 km per hour!

Kyoto

You finish your tour in Kyoto where you can visit an ancient castle before exploring the gold-plated temple and joining in a traditional tea-ceremony.
