Highlights

  • Tokyo isn’t all modern high-rises and crowded subway trains – there’s a great deal to explore, beginning with the Imperial Palace and moving on to old Asakusa, the Sensoji Temple, and the Tsukiji Fish Market.
  • Explore glittering Ginza’s shopping mecca, Akihabara Electric Town, and Ueno district’s national museums.
  • Mount Fuji is a must-see for its sheer volcanic majesty surrounded by magnificent lakes and set in Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Climbing to the summit for the first glimpse of sunrise is not for the faint-hearted.
  • Kyoto was the Imperial capital of Japan for over 1,000 years and is home to centuries-old temples, iconic traditional gardens, the Imperial Palace, and the Shogun’s residence, Nijo Castle.
  • Nara, located just a short rail journey from Kyoto, is world famous for its ancient temple park with herds of deer, and also holds a museum displaying a collection of fine Chinese and Japanese treasures.
  • The vibrant city of Hiroshima, set on the Ota River and close to the Inland Sea, is well worth a visit, with its Peace Park, a grim and hauntingly beautiful reminder of inhumanity.
  • For a trip back in time to the Edo period, visit Kanazawa, set in a remote location on the Honshu coast that boasts narrow streets and the Kazuemachi and Higashi Chayamachi geisha districts which are lined with traditional wooden buildings.
