Splendid Japan（Private Guide & Driver）- Umetravel

Eight days across Japan with a private guide and driver, running from Osaka to Tokyo with Kyoto, Nara and Hakone in between. You get the bullet train, proper temples, mountain views and a fair bit of street food along the way.

Osaka opens things up with street food and nightlife, then Kyoto slows the pace with temples, tea houses and the Arashiyama bamboo forest. Nara adds a stop with its resident deer and the Todai-ji Temple before Hakone brings Lake Ashi, a pirate ship crossing and ropeway views of Mount Fuji.

It ends in Tokyo, where old shrines sit next to modern skyscrapers. Accommodation, tickets, transport, meals and the bullet train are all included, with a guide with you throughout.
