About Japan
Japan is a journey between two worlds: Tokyo with its lights and lively neighbourhoods, and Kyoto with its temples, Zen gardens and wooden houses. And in between, Mount Fuji, suddenly appearing above the lake.
We build you a route at the right pace: a few days in the city, a night in a traditional ryokan with hot springs, and the bullet train between places. You can also combine Japan with a larger trip in the East.
