Ultimate Japan with Traditional Onsen Stay & Hiroshima Bullet Train

Experience the Land of the Rising Sun, from feudal castles to dizzying skyscrapers, on this tour of Japan’s most spectacular sites. Lose yourself in the thrumming crowds of Tokyo, make the pilgrimage through thousands of bright red torii gates on your way to Fushimi Inari – Kyoto’s famous hilltop Shinto shrine – and live a rural life among the thatched-roof houses of Shirakawa-go. Greet the local deer at Itsukushima Shrine on the island of Miyajima, sit in quiet contemplation at Kenroku-en – one of the ‘Three Great Gardens of Japan’ – and listen to the playful winds as they make music, knocking together towering bamboo stalks in the groves of Arashiyama. Then fly by in the blink of an eye on a bullet train from Kyoto to Hiroshima, taking time to ponder the powerful monuments of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.

Enjoy the sweeping landscapes from your private transportation, and make the most of your dedicated tour guide’s extensive local knowledge with entrance to some of Japan’s most beloved temples and museums. With handpicked hotels to ensure comfort and rest – including a stay at a Mount Fuji onsen – this itinerary is the ultimate way to spend your days among Japan’s innumerable must-see destinations.
