A tour of highlights, this itinerary is curated around those who want to experience the essence of Japan and the spectacular highlights it has to offer in a relatively short holiday. It is the ideal itinerary for travellers who are experiencing Japan for the first time, due to the breadth and depth of activities over the course of the nine days. It is also perfectly suited to those who wish to explore Japan on their way to Australia. This trip includes eight nights in Tokyo, eight buffets and eight sightseeing days.

This itinerary is suited to either first-time travellers or those who have delved into Japanese culture before. It includes many of the traditional highlights of Japan such as Tokyo and Kyoto but allows for more time to be spent at each and expands the itinerary to experience both Japanese culture and nature in more depth.

Enabling travellers to discover more of Japan, this itinerary features the traditional Japanese highlights such as Tokyo and Kyoto and combines them with a subtler approach to Japan, through the incredibly scenic Miyajima in Hiroshima and the small castle towns of Hagi and Tsuwano in Western Honshu. These more calm and historic highlights, amongst others, draw a contrast with the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and Kyoto that is so prominent in other itineraries.

Two weeks in Japan provides the opportunity to explore three islands and experience the breadth of culture Japan has to offer. On top of the highlights that feature in many trips to japan, the hustle of Tokyo and the temples of Kyoto, spending longer in the country grants travelers the opportunity to visit Koya-san, the headquarters of Shingon Buddism and stay overnight in a temple there, cross between the islands on the longest bridge in the world and absorb the stunning natural beauty of Shikoku.
