Days 1–4

Tokyo

Ease into Japan with a relaxed arrival, then explore distinct neighbourhoods one day at a time. Pair an omakase evening with contemporary art, a shrine visit, and time for independent discoveries.

Days 5–6

Hakone

Trade the city for an intimate ryokan stay. Enjoy onsen time and seasonal dining, with an art museum visit or a lake outing if the weather suits.

Days 7–10

Kyoto

Continue by rail for temple gardens, a tea ceremony, and a guided walk through historic streets. Leave a day for a nearby excursion or a slower exploration of Kyoto.

We plan rail tickets, luggage forwarding, and your departure airport around the route. Restaurant and cultural reservations are arranged to fit your pace.
