Spirit of Japan

Tokyo → Kyoto 7 days Up to 20

About this trip

Seven days across Tokyo, Kyoto and Hakone, built for anyone who wants a proper first look at Japan without spending weeks doing it.

You get a mix of old and new: a samurai class, sake tasting, and time wandering the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, alongside the big city sights of Tokyo and the temples of Kyoto.

It moves quickly, covering a lot of ground, so expect full days rather than long stretches of downtime.

What you'll do

  • Take a samurai class
  • Try a sake tasting session
  • Walk through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto
  • Explore Tokyo's neighbourhoods and sights
  • Spend time in Hakone
  • Visit Kyoto's historic temples
Good to know
  • Fast-paced — you cover Tokyo, Kyoto and Hakone in a single week
  • Suits travellers who want a broad introduction rather than a slow, in-depth stay in one place
