Moderately active
Ancient and ultra-modern stand side by side in Japan. On this two-week itinerary, we discover both – moving from high-energy cities to tranquil shrines, temples, and exquisitely tended gardens. A highlight of the trip is experiencing Kyoto during the Gion Matsuri, Japan’s most famous festival, where colourful parade floats, traditional dress, and street food bring the city to life. Along the way, we take part in a traditional tea ceremony, gain insight into geisha and samurai culture, hope for a clear view of Mount Fuji, and glide between destinations aboard the sleek Shinkansen bullet train.
