Your tailor-made holiday will be as unique as you are. These itineraries are just a starting point – a bit of inspiration to show what’s possible. Your own trip all starts with a conversation with one of our Japan experts, who’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and design the perfect Japan holiday to match.
A trip to Japan should always include certain elements – Kyoto and Tokyo are sacrosanct, naturally, and it would be a shame to come here for the first time and skip these out. However, we believe the other ‘must-see’ places that appear in most Japan holiday itineraries aren’t for everyone, and nor should they be. So, if you want to see natural beauty and historical towns, travel by bullet train, and learn about the culture, food and people away from the crowds, this 'Road Less Travelled' Japan holiday idea takes in the lesser-visited stops that we happen to think are pretty special.
This particular Japan holiday has been designed to showcase the highlights and the secret spots, side-by-side for an unbeatable journey across Japan’s main island. You'll visit the quieter neighbourhoods of Tokyo, avoid the crowds in the bamboo groves of Kyoto’s Arashiyama district, visit Mt. Fuji away from the bus tours, and take in some of Tohoku’s greatest sights, enjoying the parts of Japan that 99% of tourists skip over. Why follow the same old trail, when you can take the road less travelled? As always, this is just an example of the type of Japan holiday we could design for you, your adventure will be yours and yours alone.
Here's a summary of what you might get up to day-to-day on this Japan holiday. As always, this is just an idea. Every single day of your holiday will be tailored to suit you.
Our team will meet you on arrival and help with all the information you need to get to your hotel in central Tokyo.
