Let us lead you through Japan, sampling local delicacies and gourmet meals every step of the journey. Breakfast will be served at each deluxe hotel and ryokan, along with 2 Michelin Star lunches and 5 exquisite evening meals. From sake tasting at a local distillery, to private Teppan Yaki dining in a Tokyo 5* restaurant, you can be sure to savour every moment.

Escape from the big city and immerse yourself into Japanese culture by travelling west to Hakone in Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, famous for its striking natural beauty, natural hot springs, and stunning views of nearby Mt Fuji. Stay in Kai Hakone, a Hoshinoya Ryokan nestled into the mountainside near the Sukumo River. With its seamless transition into the natural landscape, you will not find a more traditional Japanese experience.

Back in Tokyo, transport yourself back to the deep Japanese countryside whilst in the middle the world’s biggest city. Tokyo Hoshinoya provides a unique experience of a ryokan in the center of a city, providing you with an oasis after a long day in the hubbub of the capital.

Travel to Yamanashi prefecture to taste the local wine made from indigenous pink-skinned Koshu grapes. Enjoy the crisp and elegant white wines with views of the Japanese Alps or Mt Fuji.

You will also have the chance to visit a sake distillery for a tour, with a tasting at the end!

After you spend your first day settling in, our local guide in Tokyo will meet you on your second day for a private tour. Whatever your interest, our bubbly guides will show you the best places to visit. If you are not sure, then don’t worry. We will give you recommendations with a list of places you shouldn’t miss!

While in Gion, home of Geisha culture in Japan, you will have the rare opportunity to meet and chat with a Kyoto Maiko (young geisha). The story behind the Life of Geisha remains a mystery both inside Japan and out. Hear the tales of their daily life; why they decided to choose this path, what makes their world so different to the norm, and what their future might become. This session with a lovely evening meal, will be one of the most alluring moments of your trip. Unforgettable unimaginable beauty.

Sit back, relax and travel in style with private vehicles and guides on all excursions, as well as 1st class seats reserved for you on all trains.
