Between the imperial city of Kyoto, and the shogun's city of Tokyo, lies Central Japan. This area of Japan epitomizes the extremes and contradictions of Japan today. The densely populated coastal belt city of Tokyo is a stark contrast with the beautiful natural scenery of the mountainous central area. Though readily accessible, central Japan is still remote enough to have retained traditional lifestyles and architecture.
Destinations:
Tokyo, Hakone, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa, Kyoto
Tour Pricing (All prices are per person and in US Dollars):
$2,224 - Double Occupancy
$2,724 - Single Occupancy
Central Japan is a slow-paced region that has it all, without the crowds. Quite opposite is the huge megalopolis of Tokyo, where the sheer energy level of the city will sweep you away. The quaint town of Takayama with its farmer's markets invites exploration. The old farmhouses at Shirakawa-go will give you a glimpse of the way of life in 17th-century rural Japan. Kanazawa has one of Japan's best gardens, and is home to many traditional Japanese handicrafts. And Kyoto, the cultural capital of Japan, has something for everyone.
