Tokyo, Japan to Osaka
Immerse yourself in Japan’s unique culture—celebrate a respect of order, harmony, and self-development as you embrace new technologies and celebrate ancient traditions. Admire Tokyo’s sparkling skyline bathed in glowing pastel neon lights. Indulge in Takamatsu’s tiny restaurants and generous portions of sizzling chicken, steaming noodle bowls, and mysterious seafood pieces shrouded in delectable fried batter. Experience the beauty of Japan’s inland sea and join a jostling crowd in an aromatic Shimizu seafood market. This voyage remains one of the most highly personalized and authentic explorations of Japan’s iconic islands at the edge of the Far East.

Insider Tips
  • Bring along a pair of comfortable slip-off shoes. Temples and traditional restaurants require shoe removal. The presence of woven rice straw mats (Tamati) and shoe storage shelves are your cues to stow your shoes.
  • Tattoos are taboo in public pools, gyms, beaches, water parks and onsens (bath houses). If you have tattoos, cover them prior to visiting temples or sacred sites.
  • If you have a yen for collecting unusual souvenirs like t-shirts, and anime-themed toys in capsules, carry a little extra Japanese yen to experience Japan’s ubiquitous vending machines.
  • Japan is a community-oriented culture where citizens put the good of the community over the individual as a way of showing respect for others. You’re more likely to blend in while following all posted rules on signs.
