Day 3 - Explore Tokyo

B L D 

As modern as Tokyo may appear, behind the neon facade is a traditional soul that is easy to find amongst the old alleyways, temples and shrines of the Edo era. Today, you will explore the city, ascending the Tokyo Skytree, Japan's tallest tower. Stop to soak up the atmosphere at Sensoji and browse the stalls of Nakamise shopping street.

Travel by road from Tokyo to Mt Fuji, where you'll ascend 2,400 metres up Japan's most iconic sight to the 5th Station (weather permitting - if the road to the 5th Station is closed, you will instead visit the Fuji Visitor Centre). Transfer to the spa region of Hakone. Embark on a cruise on the spectacular Lake Ashi, keeping an eye out for the vermilion torii gates that nestle in the surrounding hills and in the shallows of the lake itself. Next, fly high above the lake on the Komagatake Ropeway to the summit of Mt Komagatake for views of Mt Fuji. Stay overnight in Mishima.

Day 5 - Bullet train to Kyoto

B L D 

This morning, walk to Mishima Station to board your 2-hour bullet train to Kyoto. Capital for a millennium, Kyoto was also the heart of religion, philosophy, art and cuisine, making it a treasure trove of history and culture. It is here that all of the best known cultural arts were born. This afternoon, visit the magnificent Fushimi Inari Shrine, the most important of several thousands of dedicated to the god Inari. Follow the pathway through thousands of vermilion torii gates that leads through a complex of shrines spread over a peaceful, forested hillside.

Day 6 - Explore Kyoto

Begin with a visit to the Ryoanji Temple in western Kyoto, known for its Zen garden. Afterwards, head to Kinkakuji Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion due to its beautiful gold-leaf exterior. After lunch, try your hand at the art of Japanese calligraphy before enjoying a tea ceremony demonstration; please note that you will be required to remove your shoes before entering the venue.

Day 7 - Explore Nara and Osaka
