Join us on this 5 Night/7 Day Tour - Shop, Sightsee, Eat, and Have Fun - A perfect way to spend the holiday weekend!

The best way to cherish a special trip is to collect souvenirs and gift those mementos to friends and family back home–the tradition of “omiyage” describes just that. On this omiyage tour, we’ll explore the Kansai region’s famous sites and savor the regional cuisine (like Kobe beef lunch!). We’ll also shop with an eye towards specialty items to pick up not only for yourself but also your loved ones, showing them that you’ve been thinking about them on your adventure.

With our comprehensive tour of the Kansai region, we’ll visit the major cities, hop around its neighboring areas, and pick up regional goodies along the way. We’ll save you a seat on cable car, bullet train, and private charter coach as we make our way through Kyoto (cultural capital of Japan), Shiga (neighbor of Kyoto), Nagoya (UNESCO City of Design), Nara (was the first capital of Japan), Osaka (the second largest metropolitan area in Japan), and Kobe (UNESCO City of Design).

Here’s a preview of a few favorites: 2 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 2 UNESCO City of Design, Tokugawaen Garden, Nara Deer Park, well preserved historical Imaicho town, Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Museum, Glico Pocky and Pretz factory tour and so much more…
