Overview
About this package
Eight days immersed in Japanese culture during the magical cherry blossom season — pink petals drifting over Tokyo's parks, Kyoto's temple trail glowing beneath sakura canopies, and a bullet train speeding past Mount Fuji's snow-capped silhouette. Osaka's street food, ancient shrines and a full Japan Rail Pass round out a trip timed to nature's most fleeting, most photographed spectacle. Add a full Japan Rail Pass, an evening in neon-lit Shinjuku, and a street-food crawl through Osaka's Dotonbori district, and eight days barely feels like enough.
