Highlights

10 Nights | Group Size: 5-16 | No Single Supplement*

Enjoy five of Japan's must-see destinations, offering a mix of old and new, vibrant city life and quieter rural stops, flexibility to do your own thing, and lots of bang for your buck.


Must-see Japan focuses on hitting Japan's highlights. You'll visit Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Hiroshima (including Miyajima), Osaka, and Kamakura (optional daytrip), with plenty of time to break off and pursue your own wish list, too.


Being on a guided route led by one of our Insiders means you don't have to worry about missing out on the best bits. We'll take you to top local spots, share first-hand stories of life in Japan, and give you the chance to ask as many questions as you'd like.


It's a fast-paced tour, blending the vibrant big city life of Tokyo and Osaka with 20th century history in Hiroshima, rural Japan in Hakone, and ancient history and culture in Kyoto.
