Land of the Samurai

Twelve days across Japan, from Tokyo's neon energy to Kyoto's temples and Hiroshima's history, ending in Osaka. You get a proper mix of old and new — ancient shrines one day, Shibuya Crossing the next.

The route moves you from Tokyo out to Mount Fuji country, then on the bullet train to Kyoto and Hiroshima before finishing in Osaka. It's a fully guided group trip, so the logistics of trains and transfers are handled for you.

Expect temples, city sights, and one properly memorable island crossing to Miyajima. It suits people who want to cover the classic Japan highlights without planning the route themselves.
