Tokyo and Osaka, two of Japan's most captivating cities, offer an unforgettable journey for every kind of traveler - a world where neon-lit skyscrapers pierce the sky, serene temples whisper tales of centuries past, and culinary delights explode with flavor. Tokyo dazzles with its traditional culture and passion for everything new, from contrasting architecture to a dynamic arts scene to phenomenal dining throughout; explore the best within the city on a Shinjuku food tour, and the best outside the city on a tour of Mt. Fuji and Hakone! With a 1,400 year history, Osaka has grown to become one of Japan’s most dynamic cities, welcoming you to taste its culinary treasures and explore its historic temples; a tour takes you to Kyoto and Nara City, two of Japan's previous capitals that continue to radiate history and tradition.
Escape the busy capital of Tokyo and discover Japan's breathtaking natural beauty on a tour that takes you to Mt. Fuji and Hakone, as well as a ride on the Hakone Ropeway! Mt. Fuji is Japan's highest mountain, and a sacred symbol of the country, with temples and shrines surrounding the volcano. A deluxe coach will take you to the 5th Station of Mt. Fuji, a popular sightseeing spot, before taking you to a lunch buffet with local fresh food. An exhilarating cable car ride aboard the Hakone Ropeway and a refreshing cruise around Lake Ashinoko boast wonderful views of nature and iconic Mt. Fuji. For your return, take the bullet train to Tokyo station.
Shinjuku is a foodie’s paradise! On this tour a guide takes you to four eateries, where you can try 13 dishes—all of which are included for a hassle-free experience! Visit the renowned shopping district Omoide Yokocho, known for its narrow lines filled with tiny izakayas and food stalls, and which dates back to the post-war period. Visit Kabukicho, Tokyo's most famous neon-lit entertainment district known for its vibrant nightlife, where the guide will explain Kabukicho's various establishments and take you to a traditional Japanese restaurant. Next is Golden Gai, known for its historic nightlife and its alleys with over 200 tiny bars, some no larger than a closet. Golden Gas is one of the places where post-war architecture of Tokyo is preserved.

Experience two of Japan's most famous cities, Kyoto and Nara, on a day trip from Osaka. Skip the public transportation and save time as your small group travels by van between destinations. Meet your tour conductor and board a luxurious private vehicle for a one-hour ride to Kyoto. You'll visit the Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine, founded in the year 711 to worship the Shinto god of rice, Inari. A walk around Gion, Kyoto's most famous geisha district, allows you to take in the traditional landscape of the city. A must-see in Nara City, Nara Park's vast area is renowned for its free-roaming deer and world famous temples. In fact, feeding the deer is an attraction in itself! Walk toward The Great South Gate, or Nandaimon, the main gates of Todai-ji temple, and bask in the size of this great structure - its height is about 25.5m! The Ni-o guardian statues located in Nandaimon are also a site to behold. Todaiji Temple was built to pray for the peace of the country, and the Great Buddha Hall, where the Great Buddha sits, is one of the largest wooden structures in the world.
