This inspiring Japan program takes you on a time journey to retrace the remarkable Japanese civilization with visits to the Kingdom's revered UNESCO World Heritage Sites across seven alluring cities. Your introduction to Japan begins by touching down at the world's most modern city - Tokyo. Its contrasts between the old and the new, the traditional and modern makes Tokyo an exciting place for travelers to visit the world over. There, our guests will enjoy Tokyo's city sights and a fascinating excursion to Nikko, a sacred, World Heritage Site famous for its architectural and decorative masterpieces as well as its history of Takugawa Shoguns.

Your Japan voyage continues on to Hakone, where the majestic Mt. Fuji warmly welcomes the visitor with its unsurpassed charm and stunning beauty; followed by an spectacular visit to Takayama, a castle town of old wooden houses standing side by side. Its lineal beauty, highlighted by projecting lattice and eaves of uniform height, instantly captivates the visitor. Next, we bring you to two enchanting World Heritage villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama as you journey toward Kanazawa, home to one of Japan's three most beautiful traditional gardens. Finally, your tour concludes in one of Japan's ancient capitals, Kyoto, where you'll enjoy inspiring visits to the Golden Pavilion, Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace Todaiji Temple and the Kasuga Shrine.  

From Tokyo's bustling Ginza shopping district to Shirakawa-go's rustic wooden villages, Mt. Fuji's breathtaking panorama to Hakone's soothing hot-springs,  Kyoto's ancient imperial architectures to Kanazawa's Nagamachi Samurai Houses -- this is a journey that goes beyond the imagination.
