Japan Adventure + Tokyo Return — 13 Day

Japan is a brilliant mix of electric city energy and deep-rooted tradition, and this 13-day adventure gives you a proper taste of both. Start in Tokyo, where neon streets, slick trains and packed crossings set the pace, then head out to explore a side of Japan that feels completely different — quiet shrines, castle walls, mountain air and steaming hot springs where monkeys are known to soak up the warmth.

Along the way, you’ll roll your own sushi, learn the art of the sword from a Samurai master, and spend a night in a 1,000-year-old Buddhist temple with monks who’ve kept ancient traditions alive for generations. With unusual stays, a ready-made crew of travellers, and a local group leader to smooth the way from the moment you arrive, this trip takes the stress out of planning and leaves you free to soak it all up. If Japan’s been on your radar, this is the way to do it properly.

Know before you go: - Please arrive at the hotel in Tokyo ready to meet your group leader on day one. - Pack comfortable walking shoes, as you’ll be on your feet exploring cities, temples and mountain areas. - Bring clothing suitable for changing conditions, including warmer layers for higher altitudes and cooler evenings. - Some experiences are hands-on and may require modest clothing for temple visits and cultural sites. - Personal travel insurance is strongly recommended for all travellers. - Check your final departure details carefully, as onward travel support is provided at the end of the tour.
