A Journey Across Japan's Icons
This 10-day, 9-night escorted tour is a whirlwind exploration of Japan's most celebrated destinations. Departing from Delhi on September 6, 2026, the itinerary covers seven distinct and culturally rich locations: Tokyo, Hakone, Hamamatsu, Kyoto, Osaka,
Nara, and Hiroshima. The tour is designed to offer a comprehensive experience, from the bustling energy of Tokyo's metropolis to the poignant history of Hiroshima. Travelers will have the opportunity to visit iconic landmarks, including Tokyo's Asakusa Temple and the immersive TeamLab Planets exhibit, the serene Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto, and the famous Nara Deer Park.
The Shinkansen Experience
A major highlight of the trip is the journey aboard the Shinkansen, Japan's world-renowned bullet train. The package includes two separate bullet train journeys: one from Shin-Osaka to Hiroshima and another from Hiroshima back to Tokyo. This isn't just about getting from one place to another; it's about experiencing the pinnacle of railway engineering. The Shinkansen is celebrated for its incredible speed, punctuality, and smooth, quiet ride, offering a unique perspective on the Japanese landscape as it speeds by. It’s an essential Japanese experience that combines cutting-edge technology with remarkable efficiency.

The plan includes a trip to Mount Fuji's 5th Station, weather permitting, which offers breathtaking views. The journey continues through Hakone, where participants will take a scenic cruise on Lake Ashi aboard a pirate ship and ride the Hakone Ropeway for panoramic views of the volcanic Owakudani Valley.
