A Japanese Journey Tour (68540),Holiday Packages to Tokyo, Kyoto, Tokyo, Tokyo, Kyoto

Day wise Itinerary

Day 1 : Tokyo

Fly USA to Tokyo.
Day 2 : Welcome to Tokyo, Japan

Upon arrival, you will clear customs and immigration before being transferred to your hotel.

From its bright billboards and crowded sidewalks, one could confuse Tokyo for New York City, but hiding in the shadows of the skyscrapers, neatly-clipped bonsai trees frame ancient wooden houses and kimono-clad women shuffle down narrow streets. Pass spring days under a pink cloud of fragrant cherry blossoms in Ueno Park, or awake early to witness the madness of a tuna auction at Tsukiji Fish Market. Sail down the Sumida River and make a grand entrance at Sensoji, Tokyo�s oldest temple, or feast your eyes on the world�s largest collection of Japanese art at the Tokyo National Museum.

Day 3 : Dynamic Tokyo

Your first stop today is the observation deck of the Tokyo Tower where you can get sweeping 360� views across the city and on a clear morning even Mount Fuji. Tokyo Tower is 1,091 ft / 333 m tall, making it the tallest man-made structure in Japan. Visit Happo-en Garden, embodies Japan's history of celebrating each of the four seasons. At a garden tea room witness a tea ceremony demonstration (or sado 'the way of tea'), a traditional ritual influenced by Zen Buddhism in which powdered green tea is ceremonially prepared by a skilled practitioner.

Following a barbeque-style lunch at Chinzan-so Restaurant, drive by the Diet - Japan's parliamentary seat of power. Heading to the center of the city now you will stop at the large plaza in front of the Imperial Palace, where you can view the Nijubashi (two bridges that form an entrance to the inner palace grounds). The palace buildings and inner gardens are not open to the public.

Then enjoy a forty-minute Sumida River boat ride from Hinode pier to Asakusa. The river was the most important waterway for the development of Tokyo, and sights along the way include the twelve bridges of Sumida, the traditional neighborhoods of old Edo. Back on land the Asaukusa Kannon Temple - or Senso-ji - is a few minutes walk away. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Adjacent to the temple is a Shinto shrine, the Asakusa Jinja and entrance to the temple is through the Nakamise shopping arcade, one of the oldest arcades in Japan dating back to the 17th century, selling toys, sweets, snacks and souvenirs.

Return to the central Tokyo again with a drive through the famous Ginza, Tokyo's Fifth Avenue.

Day 4 : Tokyo to Hakone (Via Mount Fuji)

Depart for Hakone by coach, en route drive halfway up to Mt Fuji and stop at 5th station. You will enjoy a western style lunch at a local restaurant. Upon arrival in Hakone, you will take a mini cruise on Lake Ashi, and take a cable car ride to Mt Komagatake. At the top of the mountain, you will have spectacular views of Mt Fuji and Hakone National Park.

Hakone is a favorite weekend getaway for Tokyoites, offering everything from hot-spring resorts to magnificent views of Mount Fuji. Getting to Hakone is an experience in itself. Depart Tokyo on a high speed train, switch to a small mountain tram, and zigzag through forests and over streams. Enjoy unbelievable views as you ride a cable car and skim across Lake Ashi by boat before entering an alpine wonderland.

After enjoying the sights of Hakone, relax in the hot spring baths.
Day 5 : Bullet train to Kyoto

Experience a ride on a �Shinkansen� (Bullet train) as you journey to Kyoto. The distance is 430 miles.

With its Zen rock gardens and air of tradition, Kyoto is a city for lovers. Young couples drift down the Oi River in wooden boats glowing with red lanterns while older sweethearts stroll along the narrow streets of historic Eastern Kyoto. As home to 20% of Japan�s national treasures, Kyoto is a massive museum.

The city boasts an impressive catalog of 1,700 well-preserved Buddhist temples and 300 Shinto shrines. Kinkakuji, the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, is one of Kyoto�s most famous and elaborate attractions. Featuring a three-story pavilion covered in gold-leaf and crowned by a phoenix, one has to shade their eyes from its brilliance. Rivaling this luster is Nara�s Great Buddha, Daibutsu, one of the largest bronze statues in the world containing 286 pounds of pure gold.

For a trip back in time this is the perfect place to stay at a traditional ryokan. While the experience is not inexpensive when compared with some hotel options, it is certainly a unique way to experience the simplistic beauty of genuine Japan. Gleaming polished wood, tatami floors, rice-paper sliding doors, meticulously groomed gardens, and kimono-clad hostesses will all ensure this cultural insight is an absolute highlight of your visit.

Nara tour
This afternoon you will visit Todaiji Temple with its huge Image of Buddha; Sacred Deer Park; and Kasuga Shinto Shrine famous for its hundreds of stone lanterns.

Buddhism gained a foothold in Japan after monks from the Korean kingdom of Paekche introduced the faith to the Japanese court. It quickly won an influential following, reaching the highest circles of imperial power by the 7th century. In 685 the Emperor Temmu ordered that every family throughout the land should establish a Buddhist Altar. His descendent Prince Shotuku went further, decreeing that a national branch temple be built in every province. Two years later, in 743, he ordered the construction of a grand national temple to oversee them all. Todaiji was the result.

Completed in just four years by 751, Todaiji was truly a wonder of the world. It housed the largest wooden building the world has yet seen. Even the 2/3 scale reconstruction, finished in the 17th century, it remains the largest wooden building on earth today.
Day 6 : Kyoto city tour

Please assemble in your hotel lobby to start a morning tour of Kyoto. Today you will discover the historical sites of this interesting city. The first site will be the Nijo Castle, the old residence of the Shogun, followed by the famous golden pavilions at the Kinkakuji Temple, the Higashi Honganji, and finishing at the Kyoto handicraft Center.
- Hotspots : Nijo Castle
Day 7 : USA
