From the gracious temples of Kyoto to Tokyo's neon skyline, from soaring alps to languid tropical islands, Japan is far more diverse than many believe, and a tailor-made tour of Japan can easily combine these elements.
The mix of first world efficiency and the ‘otherness’ of Japan make for a fascinating experience on a tour of Japan and Japan can inspire even the most well-travelled.
Culture and history abound in Kyoto, Nara and Nikko whilst Tokyo is the world metropolis supreme and essential on any Japan tour.
Outdoor lovers will love Hakone, the Alps or the wilds of Hokkaido and rural Japan is best experienced in Shikoku or Kyushu.
Japan’s landscape offers an interesting blend of beautiful nature, well-kept religious shrines and temples, historical landmarks, modern cities and world heritage sites.
We will tailor make your tour of Japan to suit your requirements.
