JAPAN TET TOUR 2027: SOUNDS OF THE SNOWY SEASON

At Narita Airport, the group completes immigration procedures, then the coach takes the group to Tokyo – the cultural, economic and political centre of Japan.
On the way, you have a light breakfast on the coach.
On arrival, the group visits:
Asakusa Kannon Temple (also called Sensoji) – the oldest and most sacred temple in Tokyo, built specifically to worship the Bodhisattva Kannon. Here you will explore Nakamise-dori, the arcaded shopping street full of the essence of Japanese culture, the five-storey pagoda Gojunoto, Asakusa Shrine, the Nitenmon Gate, the Kannondo Hall and the Kaminarimon Thunder Gate…

The coach takes the group sightseeing:
Mount Fuji – one of Japan's most famous symbols. Fuji is the highest mountain in the country and one of its “Three Holy Mountains”. You will go up to the 5th station if the weather allows; if the weather is bad, you will sightsee and take photos at the foot of the mountain or at the Mount Fuji information centre.

The coach takes the group sightseeing in Takayama – known as the “Jewel Crown” of Gifu Prefecture or the “Pure Heart” of Japan, with traditional beauty shown through its riverside markets, shops and old-style inns.
Sanmachi Old Town – built during the Edo period, with antique wooden houses that bear distinctly traditional Japanese architecture. Strolling around the town, you have the chance to explore historic architecture, with dark timber storehouse walls and white-plastered walls, and admire exquisite handicraft shops…

You have breakfast and check out of the hotel.
The coach takes the group to Kyoto – an ancient capital more than 1,000 years old. Kyoto is a truly old city, as it has no skyscrapers or modern buildings. Instead, the ancient capital preserves many historical and cultural relics, both material and spiritual, of the Japanese people:
Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion) – the famous temple beside a pond, included in school textbooks across Japan and recognised by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage site. Built in the Shinden-zukuri style, a combination of architecture and nature, with a wooden base, curved roof and a top floor covered in gold leaf, it expresses wealth and prestige and creates a space in harmony with its surroundings.
