Japan Exploration Tour(Private Guide & Driver)- Umetravel

Tokyo → Osaka 14 days Up to 10

About this trip

A 14-day private tour across Japan, with your own guide and driver taking you from Tokyo all the way to Osaka, covering both the big cultural cities and some quieter mountain towns along the way.

The route moves from Tokyo's energy out to Mt Fuji, then into the Japanese Alps for Nagano's temples and hot springs, Takayama's old crafts and streets, and Kanazawa's gardens. From there it's on to the classic Kyoto and Nara stretch, before finishing in Osaka with a side trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima.

With accommodation, tickets, bullet train travel, meals and a guide all included, this is a done-for-you way to see a wide cross-section of Japan without managing the logistics yourself.

What you'll do

  • Take in views of Mt Fuji and hike its surrounding trails
  • Visit Zenko-ji Temple in Nagano and soak in a hot spring
  • See traditional crafts and old streets in Takayama
  • Walk Kanazawa's historic districts and gardens
  • Explore Kyoto's temples, geisha districts and tea houses
  • Learn about Hiroshima's history and take the ferry to Miyajima
Good to know
  • Private guide and driver throughout, with a mix of guided and independent time
  • Covers a lot of ground over 14 days, from Tokyo to Osaka with several stops in between
  • Suits families or those who prefer a steadier, more relaxed pace than a packed group tour
