Summary
A visit to Japan is a unique, unforgettable experience.
In Tokyo, you’ll encounter a city like no other: a cutting-edge fast-paced metropolis that still retains its ancient character with exquisite landscaped gardens, temples and shrines. This world-class destination is just a short ride on the bullet train from the jewel in Japan’s crown, the iconic Mount Fuji.
Osaka is the perfect city for foodies: here you’ll be able to tour some of the country’s best restaurants and eat Japanese food like a local.
In beautiful Kyoto, you can experience the traditional culture of Japan, from zen gardens to tea houses and geisha. In spring, be sure to indulge in one of Japan’s favourite pastimes – hanami (cherry blossom viewing) in the botanical garden of Kyoto.

Description
There are many facets of Japanese life that will captivate your heart. From the spiritual Buddhist temples and perfectly kept gardens right through to the boundless energy of its nightlife. What are you waiting for?
With its population of almost 10 million people, Tokyo is a thriving metropolis where skyscrapers seem to go up forever and shrines and temples still form an important part of the city’s makeup. When you book your Japanese multi-centre holiday with us, we’ll take you to nearby Mount Fuji as part of your stay – one of the most recognisable mountains anywhere in the world, and still an active volcano.
You’ll certainly never be short of things to see and do in Tokyo with palaces, quiet gardens, places to shop, local festivals and even sumo wrestling tournaments all within easy reach during your stay.
Take the first step on your Tokyo trip by browsing our multi-centre holidays now.
When you want to experience the richness of Japan’s culture and heritage, then Kyoto is the only place to be. Take your time visiting the many shrines, temples, Shimbashi Geisha District and many traditional tea houses. Kyoto is an endearing Japanese city which you can explore at a more leisurely place once you’ve arrived via Bullet Train from Tokyo.
Kyoto is a wonderful place to slow down, appreciate your surroundings and enjoy every minute of this stage of your Japanese multi-centre holiday. It’s a city you’ll never want to leave.
Our Tokyo and Kyoto multi-centre break awaits you.
In contrast to Kyoto, Osaka embodies a more modern-day Japan. For example, you can visit the awesome Universal Studios, Tennoji Zoo or the aquarium if you’re looking for a fantastic family day out. And by night, the city comes alive with drinking, dancing and heavenly food from the hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
There’s nothing that quite matches this high-octane, fun-packed city on the island of Honshu. It’s not all modern architecture and tourist attractions though. For example, Osaka Castle dates back to 1597 and also boasts its own museum. And as you may expect, there’s an ancient Buddhist Temple, Shitenno-ji, which is over 1400 years old.
These three Japanese cities all have their own unique personalities to make your multi-centre holiday one that will stay with you always. Japan’s past and present are enthralling in equal measure and the best way to sample the many delights of this beautiful and welcoming country is to see them, feel them and taste them.
