The essence of Japan

This distillation of all things Japanese is designed to provide you with a truly unforgettable travel experience.
In the shadow of Mt Fuji, Hakone presents you with the opportunity to see the nearby Owakudani geysers and the unusual Hakone Open Air Museum. Partake in Japanese culture – try your hand at creating washi paper, copperware, your own chopsticks and origami, dress in kimonos, dine with a Geiko and Maiko and play Taiko drums. From the large neon-filled, modern cities of Tokyo and Osaka to the historic villages of Ichinomiya, Gokayama, Takayama and Tsumago Juku, you will see all aspects of Japanese culture and lifestyle during your journey. Enjoy the very best the ‘land of the rising sun’ has to offer, from feudal castles to traditional gardens, sporting traditions to tea ceremonies, from sake to sushi, and everything quintessentially Japanese in-between.
