DIY Japan-In-Depth Tour
This tour introduces highlights of Japan. Explore Tokyo on foot or by taking subways. Take an overnight journey to historic shrines and temples in the Nikko National Park. Then take the train and visit the town of Narai, a medieval village deep in the Kiso Valley. Explore the charming town of Takayama, which has preserved rows of centuries-old merchants’ houses. See the Gasshozukuri farm houses in Shirakawago – a World Heritage village. Visit the town of Kanazawa known for its time-honored traditional handicrafts. Your last stop will be Kyoto – the must-see venue that you cannot miss, no matter how many times you have visited.
On this tour, you will stay in a hotel in the popular Asakusa area in Tokyo. You will rent a furnished Japanese home in Nikko, stay in a 200-year-old traditional Japanese inn (Ryokan) in the old town of Narai, and a tasteful, petite lodge in Takayama. Your hotel in Kanazawa is within walking distance from the famed Kenrokuen Park, other historic districts and busy shopping streets. In Kyoto, you will stay in a hotel across from the Kyoto train station.
