From neon lights to mountain-top nights, this tour of Japan combines past and present in a journey through culture, food and stunning scenery. In a country where ancient heritage meets the ultramodern, you will experience all aspects of Japan. Your trip will take you from the lively hub of fashion, art, food, and anime pop that is Tokyo, to shrines that pre-date the 6th century in Hiroshima and the peak of Mt Fuji in Kawaguchiko. Along the way you will sample the finest Japanese cuisine, watch Geisha dancers, visit opulent temples and sip sake. Whether staying in decadent luxury at the Mandarin Oriental or the traditional, mountain-hidden Benija Mukayu, each hotel will show you a different aspect of the fascinating Japanese culture.
