Wonderful Japan

Wonderful Japan - Hero

Independent Tours

Experience the highlights and lesser-known areas of Honshu Island in this wonderful 11-day holiday. Staying in the cities of Tokyo and Kyoto - with Kanazawa, Takayama and Hiroshima in between - this is an ideal introduction to the culture and spirit of Japan. Bridging the gap between independent and guided travel you’ll experience the best of both worlds with assistance just a phone call away on free days without a guide. You’ll also become acquainted with modern Japan’s favourite mode of transport – the Shinkansen ‘Bullet Train’. Fast, sleek and ultra-cool – and that’s just how you’ll feel on route to Kyoto. From the infamous sites of Hiroshima and the skyscrapers of Tokyo to tranquil Zen rock gardens and an overnight stay in a traditional ryokan; if you’re looking to get to know Japan, here’s how you do it without the worry of doing everything yourself. Please note: Certain sections of this itinerary will be with other travellers, including shared transfers. The minimum group size will be two people and the maximum will be 16 people.
