Destinations:
Tokyo, Takayama, Koya-san, Osaka, Himeji, Miyajima Island, Hiroshima, Kyoto
In the best that Japan has to offer, you'll enjoy a colorful mix of large cities like Tokyo and Osaka, quaint and traditional Takayama, the ambiance and solitude of Miyajima Island, the religious center of Koya-san, the ancient shrines and temples of Kyoto, the testament to peace of Hiroshima, and more.
You'll stay overnight at a mountain-top Buddhist temple where Buddhist monks will serve you meals of shojin ryori (the traditional Buddhist vegetarian cuisine), attend prayer services at the temple early the next morning, stay overnight on beautiful and quiet Miyajima Island, enjoy four gourmet Kaiseki-style dinners and shojin-ryori Buddhist vegetarian meals, and much, much more. Select from the available sightseeing and cultural options, or create your own daily itinerary with the help of your available Samurai Tours guide. A little structure with a lot of flexibility may be the perfect combination for you!
Every day you'll enjoy the friendliness, fun and flexibility of small group travel by experiencing sights, Japanese restaurants and family-run ryokans that are off-limits to larger groups. From start-to-finish, transportation from city-to-city with an escort, lodging, travel insurance, all breakfasts, seven dinners and more are included. All while our tour guide brings Japan alive with exceptional insights.
