We’ve planned this visit to Japan to include the essentials: Mount Fuji, traditional Kyoto, and throbbing, modern Tokyo. But consider these just the starting points. We’ll customize your experience of Japan to include the kinds of accommodation that suit you, whether a fine hotel with all the familiar conveniences, or a traditional ryokan (inn) with the charm and serenity that are the hallmarks of Japanese culture. Spend more time shopping in Tokyo or take extra days in Kyoto, visit a Kabuki theater or a hot-springs mountain resort, or shop in an outdoor market alongside the locals. We can arrange it all through our network of local contacts to create an experience of Japan that’s exactly to your measure.

Here’s our suggested itinerary, which we’ll alter to your requirements.

You’ll land at the New Tokyo International Airport (Narita). After clearing immigration, you'll retrieve your baggage and make your way to the shuttle van counter in the arrivals lobby on the first floor. At your option, we can arrange for you to be met and escorted to your transport into town. Welcome to Tokyo! Your ride to your hotel will provide a first view of the Japanese capital, so modern and familiar, and yet so different. Streets are busy but orderly and neat, lights and signs glitter everywhere, alternating with serene green oases. We suggest booking the Grand Palace Hotel for two nights, but we have a wide choice of alternatives. After your long flight, you’ll probably want to unwind on your own and get to know Tokyo at a relaxed pace. There’s a lot to take in, from spotless streets to bicycles left unlocked to vending machines dispensing unexpected products ranging from superb hot coffee in cans to whiskey. Enjoy the wonders of Tokyo, both great and small.

Day 15 : TOKYO - Sat - Breakfast
Our plan is to show you the sights of Tokyo this morning. Ascend the Tokyo Tower to the observatory level for a commanding view of the city, and visit the Imperial Palace Plaza. For a taste of the traditional in the midst of the modern bustle, we’ll take you to the Asakusa Kannon Temple, a harmonious melding of design and spirituality. If you choose, we can stop to sample the wares available at the Tasaki Pearl Gallery, a multi-level emporium of pearls and much more, or you might choose to explore the wonders of electronics or even the famed department stores. Other options include a cruise on Tokyo Bay, and a stroll through the exciting neon-lit streets of Ginza. Feel free to wander on your own in one of the safest cities anywhere. We’ll arrange the combination of escorted and independent activities that best suits you.

Day 16 : TOKYO - MOUNT FUJI - HAKONE - KYOTO (BL) - Sun - Breakfast / Lunch
It’s out into the countryside today, to fabled Mount Fuji and its perfect snow-capped cone. Enjoy the neat and lovingly tended farms along the way as you speed through the countryside on a motor coach, approaching and continuing right onto the slopes of Japan’s highest mountain. Our plan is to ascend to the halfway point at 2300 meters (7600 feet) for spectacular views of rolling fields, orchards, lakes, and streams and, of course, up to the mountain itself. Lunch is planned for the Highland Resort, followed by a serene cruise on Lake Ashi, and a breathtaking ride on the Mt. Komagatake aerial tramway. You may choose to spend the night at the resort, or continue to the rail station to board the Bullet Train that will speed you onward to Kyoto. In the latter case, our suggested lodging is the New Miyako hotel for the next two nights, though we can also offer a comfortable traditional inn as well.

Day 17 : KYOTO - NARA - KYOTO (BL) - Mon - Breakfast / Lunch
Visit the major sites of Japan’s ancient capital this morning. Among the extraordinary riches of Kyoto are the Golden Pavilion, Nijo Castle with its exquisite interiors, Ryoanji Temple, the Higashi Honganji Temple, and the ancient Imperial Palace (not open on weekends or holidays; we can plan your visit accordingly). After lunch at Kyoto's Handicraft Center, you can take in more of Kyoto’s traditional sites, or travel to Nara, first capital of a united Japan. Significant places to visit include the Todaiji Temple with its huge Buddha; the 3000 lanterns of the Kasuga Shrine, and the Deer Park, where the animals are free to roam.

Day 18 : Kyoto - Tokyo - Tuesday ( B) - Breakfast
Experience the Bullet Train back to Tokyo, where we’ll arrange for you to be met and escorted to the Grand Palace Hotel or other lodgings of your choice.
If you stay in Osaka, you may choose to visit Sanjusangendo Hall with its 1,001 impressive images of Buddha, the vermilion-hued Heian Shrine, and Kiyomizu Temple with its wooden verandah. For further explorations, you can wander the charming traditional sections of Kyoto. Perhaps you'll head for Fushimi, in the south of the city, where you'll find charming canals, sake breweries, and, among others, the Fushimi Inari Grand Shrine, with its thousands of bright gates, an expected surprise. We can arrange tours to the Katsura Imperial Villa or the Shugakuin Imperial Villa, according to your time and interests.

Day 19 : Departure – Tokyo - New York - Wednesday ( B) - Breakfast
