The Japan Unrivalled trip takes you to bustling cities, relaxing hot springs and majestic mountains for the ultimate Japan experience.

Konnichiwa! And welcome to our ultimate trip to Japan. Experience traditional Japanese hot springs in Tokyo, explore Kyoto the cultural hub of Japan by visiting the Fushimi Inari Shrine & travel around Tokyo taking in all the bright lights and quirks as well as eating as much sushi as possible. This is the only way to be guided around Japan, one of the most unique countries in the world.

What's included?

• Accommodation: 3-star hotels are the name of the game, plus you'll get the chance to shack-up in a traditional Ryokan, as well as a Shukubo up on Mount Koya. We like to keep it intrepid, but there's no compromise on comfort.
• Meals: (12 brekky, 2 dinner) Re-fuel with a hearty breakfast included every day, plus a few delicious dinners. We'll also give you the opportunity to sample some of the best eats in the East. We'll get 14 of your meals, you get the rest. Taste it all - fresh sashimi, spicy ramen and delicious gourmet gyozas.
• Team: A highly trained Trip Manager who brings your adventure to life, an expert driver who knows foreign roads better than Google Maps and Local Guides who make tourist traps a thing of the past.
• Transport: All transport included during the trip. Getting around Asia is half the fun, and all transport is included for the duration of your trip. Private, air conditioned mini coaches allow you to soak up all that scenery in style, but it's our unique, local forms of transport that make the journey all part of the adventure.
