16 days from £5565 per person
Route: Tokyo – Hakone – Takayama – Kanazawa – Hiroshima – Kyoto – Tokyo
Japan is a country with an amazing blend of the modern and the traditional where futuristic cities, smoking volcanoes and snow-capped mountains stand alongside manicured gardens and ancient temples. This predominately self-guided itinerary begins in the nation’s capital Tokyo before visiting Hakone and Mt Fuji. Leaving Hakone travel by train high into the Japanese Alps to beautiful Takayama before heading to the coastal city of Kanazawa. After two days in Hiroshima, including a visit to Miyajima Island, end your journey in spectacular Kyoto, Japan’s former Imperial capital.
ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS
Admire the mesmerising views of the Japanese Alps as you travel between Hakone and Takayama, one of the most scenic train journeys in Japan.
Every spring and autumn there are festivals in Takayama with ornate gilded floats. The historic buildings of the old town and superb backdrop of snowy mountains enhance these events.
The largest city in the Chugoku region, Hiroshima was the first city to be targeted by a nuclear weapon. The new city includes a thought-provoking Peace Park Memorial.
