The adventure
Kyoto's thousand torii gates. A ryokan beneath Mount Fuji. Tokyo's electric streets. Japan's greatest hits, one seamless adventure. Travel the legendary golden route by bullet train, from Japan's food capital Osaka through Kyoto's temple-lined streets. Stay at a ryokan beneath Mount Fuji, before ending with Tokyo's neon-lit, history-rich neighbourhoods. Honestly? It doesn't get much better. Trust us, we've checked.
Arrive in the vibrant city of Osaka and settle into your starting hotel around 4:00 pm, giving you time to ease into the energy of Japan’s dynamic “kitchen capital.” In the evening, reconnect with your fellow travellers and your CEO for a welcome meeting, the perfect opportunity to get oriented, meet the group, and set the tone for the journey ahead.
Arrive in the timeless capital of Kyoto aboard the high-speed bullet train, then drop your bags at the hotel before heading out to explore. Take a local train to the iconic Fushimi Inari Taisha, where thousands of vibrant red torii gates wind through forested hillside paths. In the evening, join your CEO for a guided walk through the atmospheric Gion District, where lantern-lit streets and traditional wooden machiya townhouses bring old Kyoto to life.
In the morning, Walk beneath the soaring green stalks of the enchanting Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, one of Kyoto’s most iconic natural landmarks. As sunlight filters through the towering bamboo and the pathways gently rustle in the breeze, this peaceful forest offers a uniquely atmospheric and unforgettable experience. Then, enjoy a free afternoon to uncover the timeless beauty and spiritual heart of Kyoto.
Journey from Kyoto to the breathtaking Mount Fuji region, arriving in the scenic lakeside town of Fujikawaguchiko by mid-afternoon. With stunning mountain views and a slower pace of life, the area is perfect for optional walks around the peaceful shores of Lake Kawaguchi. Later, unwind in the traditional onsen spa at tonight’s accommodation before sitting down to an unforgettable Japanese kaiseki dinner — a beautifully prepared multi-course dining experience that highlights seasonal flavors and local culinary artistry.
Spend the morning immersed in the natural beauty of the Fuji Five Lakes region, exploring the scenic lakeside landscapes of Fujikawaguchiko on foot. Surrounded by fresh mountain air and postcard-worthy views of Mount Fuji, this peaceful area offers a striking contrast to Japan’s bustling cities. Later, board a train bound for Tokyo, where the energy, lights, and excitement of the capital await.
Enjoy a full free day to experience the electric pace and endless possibilities of Tokyo at your own rhythm. Dive into the city’s eclectic neighborhoods, wander through peaceful gardens and fascinating museums, indulge in world-class shopping, or discover hidden cafés tucked between neon-lit streets. This evening, choose to join an optional final group dinner, a great opportunity to reflect on the journey and share one last meal together in Japan’s vibrant capital.
Depart at any time today, but consider extending your stay to soak up more of Tokyo’s endless energy and contrasts. From neon-lit streets and hidden ramen alleys to tranquil shrines and late-night city views, Japan’s dynamic capital always has another side waiting to be discovered.
