Essential Japan: 13-Day Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kanazawa, Hiroshima (Private Custom)

Tokyo → Osaka 13 days Up to 20

About this trip

Thirteen days across Japan's essential cities, private and paced at your own speed, moving from Tokyo through Kanazawa, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Osaka.

You get a mix of guided visits and free time, so the shrines, markets and old districts don't feel rushed. There's room to add extras like a day trip to Nara if you want it.

It ends in Osaka, where the food scene alone is worth the last few days.

What you'll do

  • Visit sacred shrines and markets in Tokyo, with views of Mt Fuji
  • Wander Kanazawa's samurai districts and gardens
  • Spend time in Kyoto, the country's old cultural centre
  • See Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and cross to Miyajima Island
  • Eat your way through Osaka
Good to know
  • Private trip, so the pace and add-ons like Nara are flexible
  • Travelling over cherry blossom, autumn colours, ski season or public holidays can push prices up
