HIGHLIGHTS

Experience modern Japan in the capital city of Tokyo
Visit Kyoto, city of temples and home of emperors
Enjoy a bullet rain ride from Tokyo to Osaka

This nine-day, self-guided trip takes travelers to the three must-see destinations in Japan. Start with Tokyo, the best place to catch the glimpse of modern Japan, and visit Kamakura, home to numerous Buddhist and Shinto shrines.

Then take the bullet train to Osaka and explore the city at your leisure. Stay there for a night before heading off to the erstwhile Japanese capital city of Kyoto, the city of temples, shrines and gardens. Learn more about Japanese history and culture before the tour comes to an end.

We will provide you with a detailed tour organizer created specifically for this trip and a seven-day JR Rail pass. Plus, there will always be someone on the other end of the phone to answer your queries. For more details, please go through the itinerary below.
