This fascinating visit explores not only the ultra-modern Japan of today, but more especially the ancient culture and traditions which underpin it. Compared with many far eastern lands, Japan remains an enigma steeped in mystical art forms, ancient religion and curious daily rituals. Our tour begins in Tokyo, the dynamic capital, and continues to Kyoto, the spiritual and historical heart of Japan.
YOUR ITINERARY DAY 1 - Depart on your scheduled flight to Tokyo. DAY 2 - Arrival in Tokyo. Transfer to your hotel for a three night stay. DAY 3 - Tokyo is a showcase city with wide bridges, deluxe hotels, spectacular theatres and elegant shopping plazas, but modern influences have not overwhelmed the old. Tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, festivals and old traditions are a constant reminder of the Japan of Madame Butterfly' and The Mikado'. This morning we have included a city tour. You will see Asakusa Kaman Temple, the Imperial Palace and the Meiji Shrine. DAY 4 - Free in Tokyo. Alternatively, you can join a full day optional excursion to the splendid volcanic cone of Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. DAY 5 - Morning transfer to Tokyo station. Here you will board the famous Bullet Train bound for Kyoto. The 325 mile journey takes 2½ hours and, weather permitting, you can enjoy views of magnificent Mount Fuji en route. Kyoto was the imperial capital for more than 1,000 years. It presents a near-perfect image of the old Japan temples hovering over a silk scroll landscape,
