Tokyo: Step into this live video game of a city and see Nakamise Street, Sensoji Temple, Meiji Temple, Harajuku and the Shibuya Crossing. Tokyo: Heads up seafood fans! Check out the weird and wonderful fish at this bustling market. Hakone: Tour this beautiful mountain town, famed for its views of Mount Fuji. And get your kicks on the epic cable car ride. Hakone: Nothing beats sitting down to enjoy a slap up meal. This is portion after portion of authentic Japanese cuisine at its finest. Matsumoto: The towering ‘Black Crow’ castle is a national treasure. It looks like a Samurai castle with its blossoming cherry trees and Alpine backdrop. Takayama: The wooden ‘Edo’ buildings of Takayama really capture the vibe of ancient Japan. Hiroshima: This way to amazing! These are the sites you always see in those impossibly tranquil pictures of Japan. IRL. Hiroshima: Visit the Peace Park and Peace Memorial Museum to commemorate the lives lost after the atomic bomb was dropped on the city. Kyoto: Tea houses. Nijo Castle. The Golden Pavilion. Geishas. It’s all so surreal. You’ll feel like you’ve wandered into a film set. Kyoto: Walk through the endless path of orange torii gates, kindly ask Inari for good luck and then you might want to sample a fortune cookie. Koyasan: Take off your shoes, enter the golden doors and marvel at the wonders. Then chill in the rock garden. And breathe... Koyasan: Start your journey towards enlightenment at this spiritual ceremony in Mount Koya. And breathe…

Accommodation

3-star hotels are the name of the game, plus you'll get the chance to shack-up in a traditional Ryokan, as well as a Shukubo up on Mount Koya. We like to keep it intrepid, but there's no compromise on comfort.
