JAPAN | NOVEMBER 22-30

We'll meet in Tokyo at our cozy hotel in the heart of Ginza – the city’s elegant and stylish district, where skyscrapers coexist peacefully with sushi bars, high-end boutiques, and hidden eateries tucked away in underground alleys. Our evening will be spent in the rhythm of the metropolis.

 

DAY 2 – MOUNT FUJI AND THE SILENCE OF THE MOUNTAINS

 

We'll leave Tokyo early and head toward Japan’s most iconic symbol – Mount Fuji. If we’re lucky, she’ll reveal her snow-capped crown. Then, a peaceful walk through an ancient forest steeped in quiet mystery. By evening, we’ll be deep in the Japanese Alps, where hot springs (onsens) nestled among pines and stones soothe everything – from tired muscles to urban-weary souls.

 

DAY 3 – A FAIRYTALE MADE REAL

 

After breakfast, we’ll visit one of the most picturesque corners of Japan – a village where houses have traditional thatched roofs and time seems to stand still. A place so enchanting you may find yourself wondering: Should I stay here forever? That evening, we’ll rest lakeside, near a samurai-era castle that stirs visions of moonlit sword fights and ancient honor.

 

DAY 4 – THE SOUNDS OF KYOTO

 

Today we'll dive into the soul of Kyoto. We'll begin with the bamboo groves of Arashiyama – where even the wind whispers differently. Then on to Nishiki Market, where you can find everything from dried octopus to mandarin-flavored mochi. In the evening, we’ll stroll through the lantern-lit alleys of Gion – and maybe catch a fleeting glimpse of a geisha’s shadow.

 

DAY 5 – GATES OF TIME AND A SACRED MOUNTAIN

 

The morning begins at Fushimi Inari’s endless path of crimson torii gates – stretching into what feels like a parallel world. Then we'll travel to a sacred mountain, where ancient temples and stone lanterns stand in quiet reverence. Tonight, we'll stay in a Buddhist monastery. Dinner (included) will be prepared by monks, and our morning will begin with prayer and the resonant toll of a bell.

 

DAY 6 – ON THE PILGRIMS’ TRAIL

 

After breakfast and our farewell to the monks, we'll descend winding roads and head to another mountaintop – one that has seen centuries of pilgrims pass through. Here, everything feels ancient: moss-covered paths, wooden teahouses, and temples echoing with history. Tonight we'll stay in the hills near Nara, surrounded by postcard-worthy views and peaceful silence.

 

DAY 7 – WHEN IN KOBE, EAT MEAT

 

Early morning takes us to Kobe. A scenic cable car lifts us to a fragrant botanical garden high above the city. After a peaceful stroll, we'll indulge in a legendary lunch: the world-famous Kobe beef – so tender, even vegetarians may hesitate.
Then we'll say goodbye to the island of Honshu and head for Shikoku. The onsens at our incredible hotel lie deep within a gorge – and to reach them, we board a glass cable car that literally descends into the steam: thick, warm, and scented with minerals. Dinner is included, and it’s quite a feast.

 

DAY 8 – THE VALLEY OF MYSTERIES AND A SCARECROW VILLAGE

 

In the morning, a boat ride takes us through a canyon where cliffs tower above and the water below is clearer than dreams. Then we'll venture into the Iya Valley – home to vine-woven suspension bridges and a peculiar, unforgettable village populated not by people, but life-sized scarecrows. Weird? Yes. Unforgettable? Absolutely.

 

DAY 9 – FAREWELL, JAPAN

 

By noon, we’ll be at Osaka Airport. A domestic flight to Tokyo (included) will take you back where it all began. You may also choose to take the bullet train instead (3 hours, not included) or ride with us back to Tokyo (6 hours). Whichever way you choose to travel – it will be a fitting finale to this unforgettable adventure.
