Itinerary

Japan's cities are world-class and its countryside is highly underrated — and this trip proves both. Tokyo, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, and Osaka all deliver in their own spectacular way, with Miyajima's floating torii gate thrown in for good measure. Then a night in a traditional farmhouse with locals reveals a side of Japan most travellers never find. The cities deliver. The countryside steals it.

day 1Arrival in Tokyo

Arrive in the vibrant metropolis of Tokyo and head to your starting hotel around 4:00 pm, with the afternoon free to settle in and take in your first impressions of the city. There are no scheduled activities until the evening, giving you time to rest after your journey or explore the neighbourhood at your own pace.
There are no activities planned until an evening welcome meeting, so we recommend arrival time to be no later than 3PM. Please ensure you arrive on time for the welcome meeting and bring your passport so your CEO can collect the required information for your train tickets. Refer to your voucher for the most up to date welcome meeting time.
