Timeless Japan: Where the Future Meets the Past. Explore the best of this country with our incredible 13-day 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.
Journey through Japan on a time-travelling voyage that seamlessly blends past and present. Glide aboard the futuristic Bullet Train as it cuts through breathtaking landscapes, racing past the iconic silhouette of Mt. Fuji — a majestic emblem of Mother Nature’s perfection — and feel the contrast between Japan’s natural splendour and technological brilliance.
In Tokyo, the archetypal megacity, lose yourself among the dazzling districts and the stylish heart of Ginza — a paradise for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Then step back in time in Kyoto, Japan’s ancient capital for over a thousand years. Here, serene temples, sacred shrines, Zen gardens, and time-honoured handicrafts preserve the elegance of a bygone era.
Savour one of the world’s most celebrated cuisines where it all began. Japanese dining is a revelation — far beyond sushi alone. Indulge in the theatre of teppanyaki, sample exquisite sake, and experience a culinary artistry that’s as refined as it is unforgettable.
Across the seasons, Japan paints its landscapes in vivid hues: the soft blush of spring’s cherry blossoms, the golden glow of summer, the crimson tapestry of autumn maples, and the tranquil whites of winter. Each season reveals a new face of this endlessly captivating land.
