Overview
Endlessly beguiling, the Land of the Rising Sun delights at every turn. Journey back in time from futuristic Tokyo to Kyoto – an imperial playground of pagodas, wooden teahouses and geishas – taking in the shrines of Nara and the hot springs of Hakone along the way.
Frequently curious and always transfixing, Japan is a place where the senses are both bewildered and delighted at every turn. In Tokyo, where skyscrapers soar over Shinto shrines, the electric pulse of the city blends with its Imperial past, reflected in its grand palaces, museums, and shrines. From this dynamic urban landscape, the tranquil embrace of a traditional ryokan offers a serene retreat among hot springs, forests and lakes. In Kyoto, deep-rooted traditions come alive – the fleeting grace of a geisha and the serene ritual of a tea ceremony evokes the elegance of the samurai era.
