Japan Beyond the Surface

1 / 1

Japan Beyond the Surface in Japan

See Japan through a route that links Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka. This small-group program combines guided walks, time at leisure and rail travel between cities, with stays in each place that give the trip a clear rhythm. The itinerary brings together well-known districts and quieter streets, from Shibuya and Tokyo’s local neighborhoods to Kyoto’s Gion area and Osaka’s Kuromon Market. It also includes a full day around Mount Fuji and Hakone, where the focus is on the landscape and the journey across the region. Breakfast is included daily, along with selected tours, lunch on the Mount Fuji and Hakone day, and food tastings in Osaka. The pace leaves room to experience each city in a different way, while keeping the structure practical and easy to follow.
