Highlights of Japan
Tour Overview
Your Guided Group Holiday To Japan
Join us on a trip to Japan to discover the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’, on this unforgettable 12-night holiday. Along our journey, we will visit imperial palaces, Buddhist temples, proud fortresses and glittering cities. We will have to experience Tokyo, a city like no other and Kyoto, steeped in tradition and home to many beautiful Geisha. On a full day trip to Nara, we’ll visit some of the most iconic temples, including Todai-ji and learn more about the rich history of this island nation. Our trip also includes stops in Osaka, Hakone, and Kamakura, with each providing insight into Japan’s unique culture. Japan is truly a country of contrasts; a blend of high-tech modernity and ancient tradition. When you combine this with breath-taking natural scenery, exciting cuisine and exotic culture, it’s easy to see why this Pacific nation is a firm favourite for jetsetters from all over the world.
