If your tour falls on a Sunday, Monday or National Holiday, your itinerary will be altered to suit conflicting admissions. E.g. museums tend not to open on Monday’s. Tsukiji Outer Fish market is not very lively on Sunday’s so we will avoid going here on a Sunday. Instead we may have a tea ceremony on Hamarikyu Garden. All decisions are made after local information is updated.

Spend the day navigating yourself around Hakone, located in the heart of Fuji National Park, home to Fuji’s best viewing spots. Cruise on Lake Ashi. Cable car across the hot spring mountain. Walk through the Open-Air Museum. Zig zag your way to your place of rest on the funicular train. Finish up at your ryokan where relaxation and first-class service awaits.

Time to Rest! Relax, unwind, zone out from the madness that you just experienced. We choose our ryokans carefully so depending on your pace of travel prior to arriving, will depend on the type of ryokan we choose. Japan has thousands to offer, with all shapes and sizes.

We promise you will thank us!

Your travel pack will include the must-have 7- Day Japan Rail Pass. If you feel like spoiling yourself, why not upgrade this to a Green Pass to allow you board the 1^st class carriages. Riding on bullet trains throughout Japan will only add to your experience.

Kyoto is Japan’s culture capital, for many reasons. We at Unique Japan Tours prefer to give you a more real-life Kyoto experience, than a mass-tourism one.
