The Best of Japan Tour

Japan is a cultural paradox – known for its long, rich history of emperors, samurais and martial arts, it’s also a place of tranquillity, elegant geishas, colourful kimonos, exquisite garden design and Zen Buddhism.

On a time-travelling voyage through past and present Japan, you can ride the futuristic Bullet Train past iconic Mt. Fuji – one of the most recognisable epitomes of Mother Nature – and feel the rift of time between the natural and technological wonders.

Take a trip to Tokyo– the archetypal mega-city –where you can wander the most fascinating districts, including the shopping and entertainment mecca of Ginza. Visit the ancient capital city Kyoto – a preserved metropolis of historical Japan for over a thousand years – with exquisite shrines, temples, Zen gardens and traditional handicrafts.

Taste one of the world’s greatest cuisines where it truly originated-Japanese food has a more advanced palette than just sushi – with teppanyaki and a huge variety of sake rice wine your taste buds are in for a culinary culture shock.

Japan shows off its seasons with an array of colours- witness the blush-coloured landscape of spring-time as the cherry blossoms bloom or the maroon hue of the maple trees in Autumn, whatever the season Japan is vibrant all year round.

Where neon lights of space-age cities live side by side with thousand-year old ceremonies, Japan really is timeless.
