Japan has a rich history that stretches back thousands of years and the country's ancestors have left their imprint everywhere. It is a world apart – a cultural Galápagos where a unique civilization blossomed, and today thrives in delicious contrasts of traditional and modern.


We begin in Hakata, on the northern tip of Kyushu Island, western Japan’s most happening city and gateway to the country. Set amid splendid natural diversity – bordered by mountains, flanked by sea, and dotted with hot springs – the metropolis is an exciting hub of modern city life.


From here, we journey to Hiroshima, where at exactly fifteen minutes past eight in the morning, on August 6th, 1945, at that moment the atomic bomb flashed over the city. Close-by a visit to Miyajima, the Island of Gods, best known for its floating shrine and the giant, orange Great Tori Gate.


There is so much more, Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, Kojima Jeans Town, and Korakuen, one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan. And then, Himeji, with its natural treasure, the White Heron Castle, one of twelve original castles in Japan.


The tour moves on to Kobe, perched on a hillside sloping down to the sea, once a maritime gateway from the earliest days of trade with China. We end in Osaka, Japan's third-largest city where things have always moved a bit faster. It packs more color than most cities with its dazzling neon and vivid storefronts.  At night, Osaka shines as it seems that everyone is out for a good meal and a good time.


On tour, we have included 2 hands-on experiences, 2 sake brewery visits, bullet train ride, world famous Kaiyukan Aquarium, and a full free day in Osaka.


Whether it’s your first visit or a seasoned traveler, young or old, this tour hits all the spots.
