About the trip

This small-group tour by G Adventures begins in Seoul, where a Hanok Village stay offers an intimate glimpse into Korea’s traditional architecture and daily rhythms. The itinerary moves southwards to Busan with its beaches and markets, before crossing to Jeju Island, known for its volcanic rock formations and the Haenyeo women divers.

Then it’s on to Japan, starting with Tokyo’s mix of ancient shrines and neon-lit streets, followed by Takayama’s traditional inns and Kyoto’s temples and geisha districts. The route includes a visit to Miyajima Island’s floating torii gate, a notable landmark. The tour concludes in Osaka with its lively culinary scene and markets.

Travel between locations is by train, plane and private vehicle, requiring packing light due to luggage restrictions on Japanese bullet trains. The overall pace balances guided activities with free time, making room to appreciate the contrasts between ultra-modern cityscapes and centuries-old cultural sites.
