This journey combines Japan’s highlights with several days in a mountain resort area, allowing you to experience both sightseeing and winter activities at a comfortable pace.

Beginning in Tokyo, the itinerary moves through scenic regions and historic cities before concluding in western Japan, blending urban exploration with time in nature.

Guided visits provide helpful background and local insight at key locations, while free time — including dedicated ski days — allows you to explore independently and enjoy each destination in your own way.

Highlights include traditional districts, historic gardens, preserved architecture, and hands-on cultural experiences, alongside multiple days at a well-known ski resort.

The schedule is carefully designed to balance structure and flexibility, making it suitable for travelers who want the reassurance of guided support while still having the freedom to move at their own pace — whether discovering cultural landmarks or spending the day on the slopes.

Why This Tour Stands Out

• Visit iconic cities and winter landscapes, from Tokyo and Hakone to Echigo Yuzawa, Kanazawa, and Kyoto.
• Spend multiple days skiing at Yuzawa, Niigata, with full days to enjoy the slopes at your own pace.
• Enjoy a balanced mix of guided sightseeing and free time throughout your journey.
• Experience Japanese culture through temple visits, samurai districts, and hands-on glass cutting.

Tour Period

This tour is available from December 2026 to February 2027.
