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 2021, keeping many of the favorite’s spots and shopping venues while adding new adventures.    

 

It all begins with 3-nights in Tokyo visiting Tsukiji Market, Ameyoko, and Shibuya Scramble Square, a new landmark that just opened in November 2019. From the rooftop observation desk enjoy incredible views and then shop and dine your way down.

 

On our way to Kyoto, an overnight in Fujinomiya, the closest city to majestic Mount Fuji. Weather permitting, enjoy incredible close-up views of sunset and sunrise against Mt. Fuji. We will also be visiting Fujisan Hongu Sengentaisha, once a starting point for Mt. Fuji climbers. In its day, was considered one of the largest and grandest shrines.

 

After a bullet train ride, enjoy 2-nights in Kyoto to enjoy the best of foliage colors. Our tour ends 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 a Kobe steak lunch.

 

Foliage sights include Rikugien Garden and Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo, Shiraito Falls, part of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, 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.
