Arrival in Tokyo, and transfer to the hotel by train. By the evening, when everyone has gathered, we will have the opportunity to get to know each other.
Please note: you will receive detailed instructions on how to reach the hotel independently by airport express train.
Today, we’ll explore Tokyo—a metropolis celebrated in books, movies, and pop culture for its immense scale, dynamism, and unique spirit.
We’ll descend into the subway and walk among impressive futuristic buildings. Next, prepare for a unique experience—visiting the TeamLab visual art museum. We will immerse ourselves in a world of realistic installations, light, and sound—this is a place you have to see with your own eyes to grasp its magic. After that, we’ll head up to an observation deck in a skyscraper and take in the city from above.
We’ll also dive into the heart of Harajuku, the hub of vibrant youth fashion, feel the tranquility of the green park surrounding the beloved Meiji Jingu Shrine, reflect on the story of the loyal dog Hachiko, and plunge into the hustle and flow of people at the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing!
From futuristic Tokyo, we will head to Japan's picturesque natural landscapes. First, we'll travel to the Izu Peninsula, where Mount Omuro, covered in velvety green grass, offers breathtaking views for dozens of kilometers around. In clear weather, you can even spot the legendary Mount Fuji.
We'll also hike the beautiful Jogasaki Trail, which winds along the coastline past basalt cliffs and majestic pine trees.
At the end of the day, we'll head to Kyoto, the cultural capital of the Land of the Rising Sun.
In the morning, we'll head to the town of Uji to visit the UNESCO-listed Byodo-in Temple. Uji is also Japan's premier matcha-producing region, so we'll have the chance to try this drink in its true birthplace.
After that, we will see one of the main attractions of the country — the Fushimi Inari shrine, dedicated to fox spirits. Here we will be greeted by thousands of orange torii gates, which the Japanese erect when they ask the spirits for help.
We will return to Kyoto in the evening.
In the morning, we’ll visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, where we’ll see the famous wooden terrace, listed among the “7 New Wonders of the World”. Then we’ll take a stroll through the historic districts of Gion and Higashiyama, where time seems to stand still.
Next, we’ll visit Kodai-ji Temple with its serene bamboo grove, followed by Yasaka Shrine and the adjacent Maruyama Park, a favorite spot for both Kyoto residents and visitors.
To end the day, we’ll take part in a tea ceremony, where we’ll immerse ourselves in traditional Japanese culture, learn to prepare classic tea, and don exquisite kimonos to fully experience the atmosphere of Japan.
After breakfast, we'll make our way to the train station to board a Shinkansen high-speed train. In just 45 minutes, we’ll arrive in Himeji. We'll leave our luggage in the storage area before heading out to explore Himeji Castle, also known as the White Heron Castle. This is one of Japan’s most beautiful and well-preserved castles, maintaining its original form for over 400 years and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle's stunning interiors have been featured in James Bond films and iconic works by Akira Kurosawa. Surrounding the castle is Koko-en Garden, a true masterpiece of Japanese landscape art.
We'll spend the day on Miyajima Island, famous for its "floating" torii gate. This iconic entrance to the Itsukushima Shrine is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We'll see ancient temples and shrines where friendly deer roam freely. We'll then hike through shaded forests to the summit of Mount Misen (535 m) for a magnificent panoramic view of the island and the sea.
Our journey through Japan is drawing to a close, and today we'll head to Beppu, a renowned resort on the island of Kyushu. A delightful relaxation awaits us in traditional hot springs, mud baths, and sand baths. A traditional kaiseki dinner and a night in authentic Japanese rooms, where sleeping is on tatami mats, are also on the agenda.

In Japan, you can only pay with the traditional currency—yen. It is essential to always carry cash, as cards are not accepted everywhere.
For transfers, we will use comfortable minibuses.
For traveling within the country, we will use high-speed Shinkansen trains and, if necessary, slower local trains. In cities, we will use the subway, monorail, and trams.
Japan has excellent paved roads, but we will encounter many winding roads along the way.
Note: The price of the trip is based on double accommodation. If you are traveling alone, we will try to find a roommate for you from the tourists of our group, but we cannot guarantee this. Usually there is a roommate, but if there is not, you will need to pay extra for single accommodation.
If you need a single room and don't want to stay with anybody, specify this in the comments to your application.

Embark on a journey that brings Japan’s versatile culture to life. Our itinerary will take us through the central and southern regions of the country, allowing us to see, experience, and taste the very best that Japan has to offer. We'll immerse ourselves in the diverse landscapes and traditions of the Land of the Rising Sun.
We will delve into the world of ancient traditions: stroll through medieval streets where the graceful silhouettes of geishas still appear, and see sacred temples and ancient castles. We will dive into the bustling life of modern Tokyo. Here, amidst the sparkling skyscrapers, we will discover the world of shocking youth fashion and visit an interactive visual art museum, where a dazzling display of digital illusions will unfold before us.
We will travel mostly by public transportation: high-speed trains, subways, and commuter trains, which are faster and more comfortable than buses, ensuring that we will have enough time to see everything. Accommodations will be in comfortable 3-star business hotels, with a highlight being a night in a traditional guesthouse, offering a unique and authentic experience.
Why should you travel to Japan?
We recommend visiting Japan in autumn or spring, when the country is at its most beautiful. In autumn, red maples festively frame the wooden temples of ancient capitals and lay a bright carpet all around. In spring, blooming cherry blossoms envelop all of Japan in a gentle pink cloud, creating an atmosphere of magic and romance.
