Itinerary

A land where cherry blossoms dance in the wind, ancient temples whisper stories of the past, and neon cities pulse with futuristic energy.

Land in Tokyo and transfer to your hotel in one of the city’s dynamic neighborhoods like Shinjuku or Shibuya. After checking in, take a walk to soak up the electric energy of the city and enjoy your first Japanese dinner—perhaps a steaming bowl of tonkotsu ramen. End the evening with panoramic views from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building or a quiet stroll through Yoyogi Park.

Start your day in the historic Asakusa district with a visit to Senso-ji, Tokyo’s oldest temple. Then head to Harajuku for quirky fashion, crepes, and youth culture before making your way to Shibuya to cross the world’s busiest intersection. Wrap up your day with sushi at a conveyor belt restaurant or check out the dazzling digital art museum, teamLab Planets.

Catch the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto and watch the scenery transform from skyscrapers to mountains and shrines. After arrival, head to the iconic Fushimi Inari Taisha with its endless red torii gates. Later, enjoy a peaceful walk through the Gion district at dusk, where you might spot a geisha on her way to an evening appointment.

Begin with a morning visit to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, then explore the surrounding gardens and temples like Tenryu-ji. Visit the stunning Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji), gleaming in the sun, and take part in a traditional tea ceremony. In the evening, taste Kyoto’s seasonal delicacies at a local izakaya.

Depending on your flight, enjoy a final Japanese breakfast and some quick souvenir shopping. Depart from Kansai International Airport with your heart full of memories, your suitcase a little heavier, and a promise to return.
