This tour consists of the popular Golden Triangle of Japan itinerary and an additional day in Osaka for the Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai.

Expo 2025 Osaka is a global event in Japan showcasing future technologies, cultural exhibits, and sustainability solutions. The event features national pavilions, an innovation zone, and artistic installations. Visitors can explore themes like future living, sustainability, and cultural exchange while enjoying entertainment and international cuisine. The Expo aims to foster collaboration and envision a better future.

The Golden Triangle of Japan features national parks, culture, architecture, and "must see" sights of Tokyo, Takayama, Kanazawa & Kyoto. This itinerary also highlights flowering gardens and the best places to see cherry blossoms. The tour begins in Tokyo, following a route of mountainous scenes through coastal regions of Honshu island, and finishes in Osaka. Our private guides and drivers will help you navigate Tokyo's cultural landmarks, fashionable neighborhoods, and diverse shopping districts, and of course the best spots to celebrate the cherry blossom season. Learn how to make your own sushi with a professional sushi chef and savor your delicious creations. Explore attractions like the Asakusa district with an atmosphere of old Tokyo, Japan's largest and busiest fish market, drive by the historical Imperial Palace, and take in the view from the record-breaking Tokyo Skytree’s main observation deck.

Enjoy Hakone's natural scenery over a ropeway ride, and gaze at the famous Mt. Fuji. Stay at an onsen hotel (Japanese style room), where you will have dinner and can unwind in the hot springs (onsen). Visit the dramatic Black Crow Castle (Matsumoto Castle) en route to Takayama, located amongst the Japanese Alps. Due to its remote location, the town is beautifully preserved and has developed its own culture that is unique from the rest of Japan. Travel to the charming village of Shirakawa- go and discover a gassho-zukuri architectural style is. In Kanazawa, stroll through the beautiful Kenrokuen Garden and see what six attributes make a perfect landscape.

Spend two days in Kyoto, the former capital of Japan with centuries-old structures. Visit the city's most renowned gardens, temples, shrines, and specialty shops. The gardens and temples on this itinerary have been selected for their reputation as the "best places to view cherry blossoms". Our travel group will also have the chance to experience a green tea ceremony, meet-and- greet with a maiko (apprentice geisha). Visit Arashiyama, located on the outskirts of Kyoto, famous for its bamboo forest.

In Nara, be inspired by the intricate architecture of Japan's oldest wooden building and the towering Great Buddha statue. You'll understand why this city is considered the birthplace of Buddhism in Japan. From there, we will proceed to Osaka to experience the nightlife in Japan, where you will visit bustling entertainment districts illuminated with neon light signs. This tour lets you travel through time and experience the culture, traditions, and architecture that are uniquely Japanese.
