This is the Itinerary
Tokyo (2-3 days)
– Tokyo tour. Visit the Tsukiji fish market, Tokyo’s central wholesale hub for seafood. Then, transfer to Tokyo Tower, the tallest tower in Japan, 13 metres higher than the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Imperial Palace East Garden and Diet building Short photo stop at the outer garden. Brief drive through the front of the Diet building. Asakusa Kannon and Nakamise shopping Arcade. The oldest and most popular Buddhist temple in Tokyo.
– Night tour: a vibrant nightlife district brimming with restaurants, bars, gourmet dining, and entertainment for every taste.
Atami (1-2 day)
– Atami, one of Japan’s best-known traditional hot spring resort. In Japanese, Atami means “hot sea”. This peculiar name comes from the fact that the hot spring water was thought to have originated from the sea. Enjoy a leisurely day at your ryokan. Your Japanese style room will be ready with all the essentials and nothing to distract you from utter relaxation, but you’ll be welcomed beforehand with slippers at the door. Of course, you’ll immerse yourself in the warm outside pools. And you’ll note that some of the outdoor hot pools are for men or women only.
Mt. Fuji – Hakone (1 day)
you’ll be speeding past the suburbs and into the neatly tended countryside beyond. Mount Fuji with its perfect, snow-capped conical shape will hover into view, every more impressive as we approach. Then you’ll continue right onto the slopes of Japan’s highest mountain, and ascend to the halfway point at 2300 meters (7600 feet) for spectacular views of rolling fields, orchards, lakes, and streams. Then continue with a relaxing cruise on Lake Ashi, and a breathtaking ride on the Mt. Komagatake aerial tramway.
Kyoto – Nara- Gion – Shimabara (2-3 days)
– Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, including the Golden Pavilion, Nijo Castle with its exquisite interiors, and the ancient Imperial Palace.
– Nara, first capital of a united Japan. Highlights will include the Todaiji Temple with its huge Buddha; the 3000 lanterns of the Kasuga Shrine, and the Deer Park, where the animals are free to roam.
– Gion is so-called “geisha district”, the home to many geisha houses and traditional tea houses. Gion originally developed in the middle ages, in front of Yasaka Shrine. Gion is the best place in Japan to see geisha and maiko in the streets.
– Shimabara, a historic district in old Kyoto, was established in the 1640s and remains one of the city’s most atmospheric neighbourhoods today.
Our Recommendations
In Japan the distances between the major sights are short and the local taxi service is excellent. We recommend hiring a private guide and a housekeeper so your journey runs smoothly, start to finish. If you also plan to do business, an interpreter or personal secretary can be added.
