This carefully crafted Japan tour takes you through the dynamic cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, offering a rich blend of modern innovation, historical depth, cultural heritage, and natural beauty. Begin your journey in Tokyo, Japan’s bustling capital, where ancient traditions meet cutting-edge technology. Explore iconic districts like Shibuya, Harajuku, and Asakusa, visit the peaceful Meiji Shrine, and witness the contrast between neon-lit skyscrapers and centuries-old temples. Continue to Hakone and Mt. Fuji for a scenic escape—enjoy a cruise on Lake Ashi, ride the Hakone Ropeway over volcanic valleys, and take in views of Japan’s most revered mountain, Mt. Fuji, weather permitting. In Kyoto, step back in time as you visit some of Japan’s most treasured cultural sites, including the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji), Fushimi Inari Shrine with its thousands of vermilion torii gates, and the charming Gion district, known for its geisha heritage. Conclude your adventure in Osaka, the nation’s kitchen, where you’ll dive into vibrant local markets and backstreets on a food tour filled with regional specialties like takoyaki and kushikatsu. Travel between cities via Japan’s famous Shinkansen (bullet train), making your journey fast, comfortable, and uniquely Japanese. This tour is ideal for those seeking a well-balanced introduction to the essence of Japan—its sights, flavors, people, and unforgettable contrasts.

We were confused while booking since we did not know much about the destination and country. However this turned out to be a perfect couple’s escape in Autumn during ( Mid October to November).

Had a not-so-great experience. The itinerary was good, but the weather was bad during Mt. Fuji visit, so the views were disappointing. And the transfers were sometimes late due to traffic.

I was tired from unplanned trips, so I tried a planned and itinerary-based tour and chose the vacation o trips travel agency and really amazed by the services. Destination and activities were chosen wisely and fulfilled the travelers\' needs. I faced the communication gap due to the absence of a guide but overall it was better then random trips.

The package designed by vacation otrips was solid for budget persons and wanderers, but they did not offer any outdoor activities, which are highlights in Tokyo and Osaka. Taking part in any of them was a bit pricy, so beware before planning your budget.

A great tour for the first timers but the wanderers who already visited 7-8 countries like me and my friends, wanted longer stops to explore on their own post-stops in Kyoto and Osaka. We loved the blend of culture, adventure, food, nature and spiritual vibes.

Wonderful 8 days! Our best memories were sunrise views of Mt Fuji and sipping green tea in Kyoto. The food tour in Osaka was a highlight for sure. It honestly reminded me why I love the idea of “Ikigai” so much.

Great overall adventure with busy but exciting days in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. Only drawback was a long day for Mt Fuji and Hakone, but the scenery made it worthwhile!

Overall, this tour was fantastic with many well-chosen activities and my exciting friends. I did get a bit tired from the long days and early starts, but that’s expected when you want to see so much, especially during a temple visit. The hotel staff were accommodating and the local transport seamless. If you go, pack comfy shoes and an open mind for a full adventure with a bit of hustle and bustle.

Traveling with kids usually stresses me out, but due to passionate traveler, I booked the trip and mother of 2 year and 6 year, can leave them alone.

The tour was mostly great. Jenny was really helpful and quick to solve the queries and update us timely. But the itinerary was packed completely and could not find time for relaxation.
