Japan Revealed

After travelling by bullet train, time is spent over three nights in Kyoto, known for its many shrines. The Golden Pavilion and Heian Shrine feature alongside a tea ceremony and a sake tasting in the brewery district of Fushimi. There’s also a day excursion to Nara, its giant bronze Buddha and free-roaming deer park, then on to the impressive Umeda Sky Building in Osaka.

The route continues west to Hiroshima, with a visit to the Peace Memorial Park and A-Bomb Museum, a stop in Shukkeien Garden, and a stroll along Kurashiki’s canals. From Okayama, attendees head to Kobe for the final overnight stay before the journey ends in Osaka for the return flight. The sightseeing pace is steady and varied, showing Japan's layers without rushing through them.
