This 7 days journey takes you beyond Japan’s major cities to explore historic regional towns, traditional landscapes, and cultural sites at a comfortable pace. Starting in Tokyo, the itinerary leads you through Takayama, Shirakawa-go, and Kanazawa before returning to the capital, combining scenic travel with cultural discovery.
Guided visits provide helpful background and local insight at key locations, while free time is included so you can explore independently and enjoy each destination in your own way.
Highlights include preserved old town districts, traditional markets, historic architecture, a tea ceremony experience, and visits to one of Japan’s most well-known traditional villages.
The schedule is designed to balance structure and flexibility, making it suitable for travelers who want support while still having time to move at their own pace.
Why This Tour Stands Out
- Visit historic regional towns including Takayama, Shirakawa-go, and Kanazawa.
- Enjoy a well-paced mix of guided sightseeing and personal time.
- Experience local culture through markets, traditional architecture, and a tea ceremony.
