Japan has easily become associated with the’Land of Enchantment’ and, while it’s a modern and technologically-savvy society, it is not without its culture, beauty and history. That is the reason why steered tours of Japan are so popular for couples and families alike.
Almost all steered tours of Japan start by flying into the Tokyo Narita Airport. Many tours allow you a night’s rest before going off to see the sights in Tokyo, a large city of more than eight million people. You’ll visit the Meiji
Shrine-a amazing Shinto monument erected inside a man-made forest. After that, you’ll likely travel to the Imperial
Palace square where you can see the Imperial Palace of the Emperor of Japan. The majority of the palace is off limits but it’s got a lovely East Gardens for visitors to stroll in.
Many steered tours in Tokyo will take you to the Asakusa Kannon temple and the nearby Nakamise Shopping Arcade, where visitors can go shopping at their leisure for souvenirs or other items. Later that night, walk the streets of Tokyo with your tour director to take in the stunning lights of this wonderful city. Next day, you can take an excursion to Kamakura, which is the home of the Great Buddha-a shrine that is 750 years old.
After seeing the Great Buddha, may guided tours of the area will take you on a scenic drive to Hakone so you can take a cable automobile ride and get the best views of Mount Fuji, if the weather cooperates. Guests can select an exciting ride on the bullet train back to Tokyo.
After you’ve seen a lot of Tokyo and surrounding area, most steered tours of Japan will take you up to Matsumoto, considered the gateway to the jap Alps. There you’ll visit the Matsumoto Castle-a fortress dating back to 1593. Nearby is the Japan Folklore Museum and a nice way to see artifacts from Japan in their natural setting.
Later, most steered tours of Japan will take you to Takayama where you may visit the local farmer’s market and travel to the San Machi Suji historical district, famous for distilleries that make Japanese sake. Nearby are lovely lacquerware shops that make items perfect for memento shopping. Also nearby is the Kusakabe Heritage House, a lovely place to see standard jap design from the late 19th Century.
the subsequent stop on many led tours of Japan is the Hida Minzoku-Mura folk village-a big collection of traditional jap buildings, including farmhouses. There, you can enjoy demonstrations of craft-making, such as lacquer making, silk dying, basket weaving and wood carving.
Most guided tours of Japan will take you through the mountainous areas, including the Shokawa Valley and onto the hamlet of Shirakawa. This is a remote area of Japan that is home to many world heritage sites. Enjoy standard Eastern food with your tour mates.
the subsequent stop on most steered tours of Japan is Kyoto, a lovely city and home to the engaging Nijo Castle, built as the official residence of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1603. Nearby is Kinkakuji, the temple of the Gold Pavilion and several shrines and gardens. Kyoto is home to numerous temples, shrines and palaces and is a place you will need to spend 2 days visiting.
As you have traveled so far north, most guided tours will then take you to Osaka and to the Kansai Airport for your exit home. Hopefully, you’ve taken in plenty of jap food and culture, and you’ve enjoyed their unique food.
