Japan Cherry Blossom Trail

Overview

A culturally rich nine-night itinerary timed to sakura. Three nights in Tokyo cover Shibuya, Asakusa, Harajuku, and Shinjuku. A day trip to Hakone gives you Mt. Fuji from the lake side, plus one night in a traditional ryokan with onsen and kaiseki dinner. Three nights in Kyoto bring you Fushimi Inari at sunrise, a private tea ceremony, the bamboo grove at Arashiyama, and Gion at dusk. Two nights in Osaka close the trip with Dotonbori street food and a half-day in Nara to see the deer. The package includes return flights from DXB, mixed accommodation across nine nights, daily breakfast plus two ryokan dinners, a seven-day JR Pass that covers all the bullet trains and most local lines, and an English-speaking guide on the city days in Tokyo and Kyoto. Japan tourist visa, most lunches and dinners, travel insurance, and personal expenses are not included; the visa requires a detailed daily itinerary which we draft to embassy specifications.
