If you want to experience a few (of the many) highlights of Japan, all while staying in comfortable accommodation with like-minded travellers, this Premium adventure from Tokyo to Kyoto is a must! You’ll spend nine days exploring world-class shopping neighbourhoods, geisha districts, hole-in-the-wall eateries, ancient temples and markets with some of the freshest seafood you’ll ever find. Learn about the history of samurai from a family of contemporary ninjas, try to find snow monkeys bathing in hot springs on the mountain in Yamanouchi and wander through a designated Place of Scenic Beauty in Arashiyama. In Kanazawa, visit Japan’s most celebrated landscape garden and compare the traditional and modern architectural styles on an architect-led walk. Finally, follow the trail of a sacred shrine in Kyoto and learn the art of matcha tea presentation during a traditional ceremony.
