A Private Japan Tour – Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Miyajima Island
10 Days / 9 Nights – Tour Code (PVJ) – Land Only – PRIVATE TOUR – Departs Daily
Step into a living tapestry of contrasts—where glittering skylines give way to ancient temples, and quiet gardens bloom in the shadow of timeless shrines. This privately guided tour moves at your pace, revealing Japan’s celebrated cities and landscapes with ease and elegance.
Begin in Tokyo, where tradition and transformation meet. With your private guide, wander incense-scented Senso-ji Temple, savor the freshest catch at Tsukiji Market, and find stillness at Meiji Shrine. Even travel becomes part of the adventure as you navigate Tokyo’s train network like a local.
Slow the pace in Hakone, where cool air and misty hills cradle serene lakes. Ride the Hakone Ropeway for a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji, cruise the calm waters of Lake Ashi, and admire contemporary sculptures at the Hakone Open-Air Museum. End the day in a luxury ryokan, wrapped in a yukata and immersed in the healing waters of a traditional onsen.
The Shinkansen carries you to Kyoto’s cultural heart. Golden temples shimmer, Nijo Castle stands as a sentinel of history, and Gion’s lantern-lit lanes whisper of geisha traditions. Here, every garden and temple bell holds a centuries-old story.
Conclude in the Inland Sea, where Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park and A-Bomb Dome embody resilience and hope. Across the water, Miyajima Island enchants with the floating torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine, rising gracefully from the tide.
From Tokyo’s vibrant energy to Kyoto’s sacred stillness, from the quiet grace of an onsen to symbols of enduring peace, the Priceless Japan Spectacular is more than a trip—it’s your once-in-a-lifetime story of Japan.
