Japan Classic 14 Days
This 14-day small-group tour links Japan’s major city, mountain, temple and memorial stops in one route from Tokyo to Hiroshima. It suits travellers who want a fuller overland trip with guided sightseeing, rail travel between cities and a mix of modern districts, historic sites and quieter stays. Start in Tokyo with an orientation, a sushi-making class and time in districts such as Harajuku, Akihabara, Shinjuku and Shibuya. Continue to Hakone for mountain scenery and views of Mount Fuji, then stay in Takayama before moving on to Kyoto for walks through Gion, temple visits and time in Arashiyama. The journey then continues to Osaka, Nara and Koya-san, before ending in Hiroshima and Miyajima Island with guided visits tied to the city’s history. Accommodation includes a range of shared and twin-style stays, including temple nights in Takayama and Koya-san. Meals, guided walks and rail transport are included as listed, with free time built into several stops for independent exploration.
