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.

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.

The tour did not fulfill my expectations. Had an average week\'s experience.

Great for first timers to Japan such as me! The hotel\'s comfort and morning fresh breakfast exceeded my expectations. 3-hour Kyoto Rickshaw Tour and the evening food tour in Osaka was a highlight with 13 different dishes and drinks at 5 eateries. Loved it!

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.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

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.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

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.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

I suggest you to try everything on the Osaka food tour — takoyaki, yakitori, kitsune udon were all great. Friendly tour staff made meals and directions simple. Do not miss this chance as a foodie

Had a nice experience with the VOT team. And the Osaka food tour was just a personal moment with myself. Foodies can not miss this day.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

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.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

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.

Excellent planning and smooth transfers from airport to hotel in every city. Tokyo at night is a sensory delight — electric, fun, and safe. Thank you Jenny for this well balanced itinerary.

Our family loved the Osaka food tour tasting takoyaki, kushikatsu, and local udon. Hotels were comfortable with cozy beds and hearty breakfasts before each full day of exploration.

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!




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

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.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

My booking experience here was really smooth. I thought last minute availability would be an issue, but the team handled everything quickly and professionally. Highly recommended.

Booked this adventure as our first Asia trip and it surpassed our expectations. The tour matching the itinerary and given time. Additionally, we got enough space to explore on our own.

I advised to pack comfortable shoes and clothes along with a few dressy outfits. There is a lot of walking in fascinating places like Asakusa and Gion, and I learned that the hard way.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

Itinerary was clear and well-maintained, no surprises or hidden charges. Beware that tasting the food at Osaka Food Tour and buying any souvenir from the market or participating in any activity beyond the package are your personal expenses. So, prepare your budget according to that.

Traveling with kids was easier than I thought because of the private transfers to hotel and airport and well-paced itinerary. Also, the hotel\'s amenities were excellent. The kids still talk about the bullet train and the delicious Osaka Food Tour.

Our best memories were Kyoto’s temples and Osaka’s neon night streets. Great service and clear daily plans took all stress away.

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. But my experience with vacation o trips was really good, they made it so easy. The private transfers, kid-friendly hotels, and a laid-back pace meant we could enjoy without constant chaos. The bullet train was a hit with the little ones. We’d definitely bring the family again, maybe with a few more downtime breaks.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

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. I did not appreciate the late pickups from airport and long walking city tours. Tired by day 6, but yes, many things were organized well.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

Traveling with friends — Tokyo to Kyoto on the bullet train was truly smooth. Hakone’s natural scenery was worth the day trip.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

The blend of scenic beauty with cultural spots made it perfect for our kids\' holiday fun. Keep changes in your pocket during markets and do not forget to bring good walking shoes. And be ready for jet lag, but rewarding walks and perfect adventures.

Hiking on Mt. Fuji and was so much exciting. I loved to connect with the Japanese people and learn about their lifestyle.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

I am happy with the services of vacationo trips and its whole team. But I am disappointed with the tour. We had to wait a lot for the food during the Osaka Food Tour and the Kyoto Rickshaw Tour felt short and touristy. I did not feel the authentic vibes of Japan.




Booked: Japan Tour – Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka Adventure

Did a tour as a single mother with my daughter and everything was super fun. Never felt like on a solo or unsafe trip. Don’t miss the Asakusa temple area.
