Why go?

In Japan, everything’s done just a biiit differently. There’s sushi—on conveyor belts. Ancient shrines—in actual lakes. And neon lights—as far as the eye can see. So, if culture shock is on your bucket list, this journey’s got you covered.

  • Round-trip flights & airport transfers (or book 'em yourself)
  • 7 nights in handpicked accommodations
  • 7 breakfasts
  • 3 included dinners
  • Expert Tour Director
  • 24/7 support

Picture yourself

  • Uncovering centuries of tradition at ancient temples and shrines
  • Slurping ramen and popping sushi on repeat
  • Wandering the neon streets of Shibuya and Dotonbori
  • Cruising around a lake in the shadow of Mt. Fuji
  • Time traveling to old-world Japan in Kyoto

Itinerary

Day 1: Overnight flight

Hop on a plane heading west and cross the international date line, because you’ve got a big date with Japan—and all that ramen isn’t going to eat itself. 

Day 2: Arrive in Tokyo

Say konnichiwa to Tokyo, home to more people, vending machines, and Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere else. Settle in, meet your fellow travelers, and get ready to explore.

Today’s highlights
