Tour the must-see sights of Kyoto & Tokyo, enjoy cultural activities, and visit the best autumn leaves viewing spots in Japan.

Early-November until the first week of December is the best time to view Autumn leaves where we are visiting. You will find colorful photo opportunities around every corner. Deciduous maple, gingko, mountain ash, cherry, birch, and larch add splashes of gold, red and yellow to temple grounds, famous landscape gardens, village streets, and forest covered mountains.

On our Autumn itinerary, our private guides and drivers will help you navigate Tokyo's cultural landmarks, fashionable neighborhoods, and diverse shopping districts. 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. Spend a day at Hakone and Mt. Fuji, then take a Shinkansen (bullet train) ride for experience before transferring to your next hotel. There you'll stay at an Onsen Hotel (Japanese style room), where you will have dinner and can unwind in the hot springs (onsen).

Then proceed to Miho Museum, a stunning architecture that accentuates the surrounding nature while exhibiting a variety of items from different ancient civilizations. It was designed by the renowned architect, I. M. Pei, and is named after Koyama Mihoko, one of the richest women in Japan and the founder of the museum. Moreover, the museum has been listed as one of the "1000 Places To See Before You Die".

Spend two days in the ancient city of Kyoto, where you will have exclusive access to the city's gardens, temples, shrine, castle and specialty shops. You'll also get the opportunity to experience a traditional green tea ceremony hosted by an apprentice geisha (maiko). Visit Arashiyama for its famous Togetsu Bridge and bamboo groves. At Nara, be inspired by the intricate architecture and towering monuments, including the Great Buddha statue, and you'll understand why this city is considered the birthplace of Buddhism in Japan. From Nara, proceed to Osaka for last minute shopping.
