Japan: Kyoto, the Japanese Alps & Tokyo
14 days | 18 days with Okinawa & Tokyo extension | Estimated monthly payments as low as $301 CAD
Tap into the breadth of Japan’s energy, from riveting metropolises to restorative mountain retreats.
Japan’s reputation as a dynamic destination is well-earned. (Looking at you, Tokyo.) But if you look beyond the neon glow of its super-cities, you’ll find something calmer—and the Japanese Alps are the thread that binds it all together. This tour juxtaposes the buzz of Osaka’s Dotonbori district with the quiet of Kyoto’s temples, the rustic charm of Takayama’s Old Town, and the mountains gracefully standing sentinel at Kamikochi. You can even add a tropical twist by tacking on the extension to Okinawa!
