Roads are an essential part of civilization. They help people travel and discover many different places. In Japan, the Tōkaidō (East Sea Road) was considered the most important route used during the Edo period. Stretching along the Pacific Coast from Osaka to Edo (Tokyo), two to three weeks on foot, was always an adventure.
We have updated the itinerary for 2020, keeping many of the favorite’s spots and shopping venues while adding new adventures. Our touring dates should fall in the peak period for foliage viewing throughout the tour.
It all begins with 3-nights in Tokyo visiting Tsukiji Market, Ameyoko, and Shibuya Scramble Square, a new landmark that just opened on November 1st of 2019. From the rooftop observation desk enjoy incredible views and then shop and dine your way down. Another first-time addition, Tokyo National Museum, the oldest and largest of Japan’s top-level museums.
On to Kyoto by bullet train for 2 nights that include a night tour followed by a Japanese dinner with Maiko performance. We end in Osaka for 2-nights with accommodations steps from the Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. There’s more, a cable car ride up the mountainside in Kobe, a sake brewery visit and Kobe steak lunch.
Foliage sights include Shinjuku Gyoen and Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo, Golden Pavilion, Nijo Castle, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove in Kyoto. In Nara, visits to Todaiji Temple and Deer Park and then Osaka Castle and Kobe Nunobiki Herb Gardens.
This leisurely paced tour will not disappoint and perfect for the seasoned traveler as well as first timer to Japan.
