Japan Entrée

This nine-day introduction to Japan combines guided tours with self-guided travel. It’s a balance between doing it yourself and enjoying the peace of mind that comes with organised accommodation and a well-oiled itinerary. Travelling by express train – including the famous bullet train – you’ll experience Tokyo and Kyoto in the exclusive company of English-speaking guides. You’ll also have plenty of free time to explore on your own as well as enjoying a night in the thermal hot springs resort of Hakone, close to Mount Fuji. With a good mix of included activities, and optional excursions – including sushi-making, river cruises with lunch, and bamboo forest tours – there’s no better way to experience Japan.
