Japan

About Japan

From Tokyo’s cutting-edge architecture to historic Nara’s ancient vibes, Japan expertly blends centuries-old traditions with hi-tech modernity like no other country in the world, making it a bewilderingly beautiful destination to immerse in. Japan’s incredible traditions, culture, and craftsmanship — think geisha, sumo, gardens, manga, and sake — are like no one else in the world. And don’t forget Japan's world-famous culinary traditions like sushi and homemade ramen. Discover Japan’s greatest gems and explore its little-known nooks and crannies during your visit to the country.

Get in touch with our local travel experts today to craft a customized Japan tour and explore the best of Japan.

When to go to Japan

The best time to explore Japan is from March to May and again from September to November. Throughout the country, the temperatures are comfortable and the weather is usually splendid during these months. However, there is a risk of typhoons in September, so keep an eye on weather reports if you are traveling around this time. If you are planning to hike through Japan’s countryside or visit Hokkaido’s stunning parks, then June, July, and August are also ideal. To see the iconic springtime sakura (cherry blossoms), head to Japan between late March and mid-April. Learn more.

How long to stay in Japan

Japan will lure you to stay longer even after you have spent weeks in the country. It is, however, possible to cover Tokyo and Mount Fuji in four days. In a week, you can see the country’s most iconic cities, including Tokyo and Kyoto. Opt for a jaunt lasting between ten to 12 days if you want to see Kanazawa’s elegant temples and be captivated by Tsumago’s rural charms. If you wish to combine city sightseeing with a couple of hikes, like the enchanting Kumano Kodo trail, then allow yourself at least two weeks in the country. Learn more.

Must-visit destinations in Japan

Explore Tokyo’s pubs, museums, and world-class shopping district. Then take a Shinkansen bullet train from the capital city and head for Kyoto, whose historic center will transport you back to the Edo period. Get bowled over by the burst of creativity in Naoshima, a former fishing village that is now a globally renowned art destination. Cross the vine bridges of the remote Iya Valley on Shikoku island and channel your inner philosopher on the shores of Tohoku’s Lake Tazawa, Japan’s deepest lake. For a hike or pilgrimage, head to the famed and picturesque Kumano Kudo or climb Mount Fuji. For history, add Hiroshima to your list. Learn more.

I have always been curious about the world and different cultures, which naturally led me to a career in travel. I work as a tour director, leading groups and helping travellers experience destinations in a meaningful and well-organised way. I enjoy the process of bringing an itinerary to life—whether it’s guiding a group through a historic city, sharing local insights, or ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. I’m particularly passionate about travel in Asia and enjoy discovering the culture, food, and unique character of each destination. What motivates me most is seeing travellers connect with a place in a way that creates lasting memories. Outside of work, I enjoy researching destinations, planning itineraries, and learning about transport systems such as rail networks, which I think are one of the best ways to experience a country.

Elise Khan | Traveled in April
Excellent

I loved this tour, not just for the beautiful sights but for how much I learned. Japan is so different from North America in terms of culture, manners, even how people move through a city. I found it fascinating. The tour guide didn’t just take us from place to place. He taught us about Shinto traditions, post-war history, Japanese etiquette (like how to bow or take off your shoes in homes), and more. I felt like I came home not just with photos, but with a better understanding of the world. We saw cherry blossoms, temples, even deer in Nara Park. Hiroshima moved me deeply. The whole trip was emotional and eye-opening, but in the best way. I’m 66, and this tour was easy on the body and stimulating for the mind. What more could you ask for?

Best of Japan
Carter Gannon | Traveled in February
Excellent

I took this tour with my 26-year-old daughter as a belated graduation gift and it turned out to be one of the best things we've done together. We both love Asian food, history, and culture, but neither of us wanted to deal with figuring out trains or language barriers. This tour was the perfect solution. Seoul was great. The subway system is clean and easy, and we loved how our guide gave us the confidence to use it ourselves. Seeing Deoksugung Palace and the tsunami-shaped City Hall was such a unique contrast. My daughter is into history, so the War Memorial really moved her. I was more fascinated by the traditional hanok homes in Jeonju. Busan was cool and coastal. That view of the ocean behind the shrine was unforgettable. The ferry to Japan was surprisingly relaxing. We played cards, had snacks, and watched the sea. Japan felt more spiritual to me. Miyajima and the Itsukushima Shrine were beautiful, and Hiroshima gave us a lot to think about. The hot springs at Dogo Onsen were so soothing after long days of walking. And I have to say that the bullet train ride to Tokyo? My daughter was giddy like a kid in Disneyland! We both agreed that the night at Mount Koya’s monastery was something we’ll remember forever. Quiet, peaceful, and a total change of pace. If you're thinking about bonding time with a loved one, this tour gives you experiences you’ll talk about for years.

Highlights Of Korea and Japan
Anthony Lamson | Traveled in December
Excellent

Genuinely it was awesome. Guide spoke really good English and Spanish (our group was mixed). She even warned us about entrance lines, how to avoid crowds. Hotel in Osaka was central, we walked to Dotonbori at night. They left little luxuries—like a funicular ride, boat cruise, cable car. We didn’t worry about anything logistical, very comforting at our age to have hassle-free transfers and everything being ready beforehand.

I will book it again

The best tour guide ever, and the best trip ever. Thank you very much to our tour guide Tadashi for bringing us this unforgettable trip. I felt very comfortable throughout the whole process, just like traveling with friends. I also gained a deep understanding of Japan's traditional history and culture. I will not hesitate to choose this company next time! Thank you so much!

Historical Japan with Hiroshima

Worth the money, highly recommended!

This tour was amazing! With a friendly and professional guide, Ayumi, we saw the whole of Japan and everything it has to offer. We had a great time doing lots of activities and sightseeing. Be sure to be prepared for a lot of walking! Worth the money, highly recommended!

Historical Japan with Hiroshima
Olivia Robinson | Traveled in July
The ultimate foodie adventure!

The food was absolutely delicious, from start to finish—every meal was a highlight. Exploring Osaka Castle and then diving into the Kuromon Market for some street food was epic. The sushi-making class in Tokyo was SO much fun, and visiting Senso-ji Temple right after made it even better. Big thanks for the ultimate foodie adventure!
