Japan on a Budget Small Group Tour Package

Tokyo → Kyoto 7 days Up to 50

About this trip

Seven days across Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara, built for travellers who want to see Japan properly without spending a fortune doing it. You get the big-hitters — temples, Mount Fuji, bamboo forests — without a lot of frills around them.

Tokyo kicks things off with the Imperial Palace Gardens, Shibuya, and Senso-ji Temple, then it's out to the Fuji Five Lakes area for the scenery around Lake Kawaguchi and Oshino Hakkai. After a free day to explore Tokyo on your own terms, a bullet train takes you to Kyoto for Gion, the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, and the Golden Pavilion, before the trip closes out in Nara Park.

It's a small group throughout, with guidance where it counts and room to wander when it doesn't.

What you'll do

  • Explore Tokyo's Imperial Palace Gardens, Shibuya, and Senso-ji Temple
  • Take in Mount Fuji, Lake Kawaguchi, and Oshino Hakkai
  • Ride the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto
  • Wander Gion, Kyoto's historic geisha district
  • Visit the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and the Golden Pavilion
  • Finish in Nara Park among its free-roaming deer
Good to know
  • Budget-focused — accommodation is simple rather than plush
  • Partially guided, including a free day in Tokyo to explore independently
  • Easy pace, suited to families and first-time visitors to Japan
