Japan in Depth

Japan in Depth - Hero

Independent Tours

This fully guided train tour of Japan’s Honshu Island covers all the highlights including Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo. In between two and three-night stopovers in the big cities, you’ll also get to experience life in the mountain resort villages around Takayama and Nagano. It’s an absolute world away from the neon glare of the streets with multi-course dinners and thermal hot springs providing ample opportunities to enjoy a warm welcome. There’s a whole lot to take in as well as plenty of free time to enjoy evenings at your own pace. From the infamous sites of Hiroshima and the temple shrines of Kyoto to meditative Zen gardens and volcanic views over Mount Fuji; if you’re looking to delve deeper into Japan, here’s how you do so without the stress of DIY travel.
