Tokyo Neon, Kyoto Temples & Mount Fuji
Ready-to-book itineraries
3 curated Japan itineraries — from shorter escapes to extended expeditions. Refine any of them with your travel consultant.
Japan's classic first-timer route - neon Tokyo, imperial Kyoto and kitchen-of-the-nation Osaka - linked by the shinkansen bullet train, with Mount Fuji, a sumo practice and a Hiroshima day trip along the way.
A wider loop of Japan beyond the Golden Route - Kyoto and Nara, the moving memorials of Hiroshima and Miyajima, the subtropical beaches of Okinawa, a Hakone onsen and finally Tokyo.
A food-lover's journey the length of Japan - Osaka and Kobe beef, Kyoto's maiko dinner, Tokyo sushi and sumo hot pot, and the seafood, beer and barbecue of Hokkaido from Sapporo to Hakodate.
Bullet trains and bamboo groves, neon Tokyo and the thousand torii of Kyoto, cherry blossom in spring and snow monkeys in winter — Japan blends the hyper-modern with the deeply traditional.
Climb the tunnel of thousands of vermilion torii gates winding up the Kyoto hillside.
Ride the 300 km/h bullet train between Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.
Lake cruise, ropeway and hot springs with views of Japan's sacred peak.
Walk the towering green bamboo corridor and the Tenryu-ji temple gardens.
March-April (cherry blossom) & October-November (autumn)
Four distinct seasons. Spring (Mar-May) and autumn (Oct-Nov) are mild and the most beautiful; summers are hot and humid; winters are cold with snow in the north.
Indian passport holders need a Japan visa — apply in advance through the authorised agency with the standard set.
A Japan Rail Pass (bought before arrival) is excellent value for the Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka route.
Japan is largely cash-friendly — carry yen; IC cards (Suica/Pasmo) ease city transport.
Pocket Wi-Fi or an eSIM is recommended for navigation; English signage is good on main routes.
Etiquette matters — no tipping, quiet on trains, and shoes off where indicated.
