Your Quintessential Japan tour starts off with 3 nights in Japan’s vibrant capital, Tokyo.
Sightseeing includes a full day to Kamakura with its Great Buddha, ancient temple of Hase-Dera, famous for housing a massive wooden statue and the Tsurugaoko Hachimangu Shrine, Kamakura's most important shrine. Return to Tokyo via Yokohama and stop in at the traditional Japanese Sankeien Garden.
The following morning, enjoy a tour of Japan’s largest city which will include the observation deck of the Tokyo Tower, the gardens of the Imperial Palace, the Asakusa Kannon Temple and the traditional Ueno district.
Leave Tokyo by bus for the Hakone National Park and drive half way up the famous Mount Fuji for some spectacular panoramic views. Later, enjoy a cruise on Lake Ashi followed by a scenic ride on the Hakone Ropeway, one of the world’s longest aerial lifts. Overnight in Hakone.
The next day, take the bullet train to Kyoto. On arrival, head to the attractive city of Nara, to view the ancient Todaiji Temple with its Great Buddha, the largest bronze Buddha in Japan, the colourful Kasuga Taisha Shrine with its 3,000 lanterns and visit Nara Park, affectionately called "Deer Park" because of the friendly, free-roaming deer that inhabit it. Return to Kyoto for a 4 night stay.
You will have a full day of touring to some of the most famous sites including Nijo Castle, completed in 1626, the Kyoto Imperial Palace, former home of Japan’s Imperial families and the Golden Pavillion (Kinkakuji Temple), an impressive structure built overlooking a large pond which reflects a mirror image of the temple. You will also visit Sanjusangendo Temple, which has over 1,000 Buddha images and the Heian Jingu Shrine and the Kiyomizudera Temple with its famous wooden verandah.
Next head to Hiroshima for the day by the bullet train. Although widely known as the city destroyed by an atomic bomb in 1945, Hiroshima is now a modern, cosmopolitan city. On arrival, enjoy a tour which includes the beautiful Miyajima Island famous for its Itsukushima Jinja Shrine floating in the water, the Hiroshima Peace Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome, a reminder of World War II and an inspiring symbol of peace.
Another full day at leisure to further explore Kyoto brings to a conclusion your quintessential visit to Japan.
