Destinations

Tokyo, Japan

Start in Shinjuku and Shibuya for neon-lit streets and world-class ramen. Don't miss Senso-ji temple in Asakusa and a stroll through Harajuku. Tokyo's convenience stores alone are worth the trip.
Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto is the cultural heart of Japan with over 1,600 Buddhist temples. Walk the iconic Fushimi Inari torii gates and explore the geisha district of Gion. Try kaiseki cuisine and matcha sweets in the historic Higashiyama neighbourhood.
Osaka, Japan

Osaka is Japan's street food capital — don't leave without trying takoyaki and okonomiyaki in Dotonbori. The city has a lively, down-to-earth energy compared to Tokyo. Visit Osaka Castle for a mix of history and great city views.
Nara, Japan

Nara makes a perfect day trip from Kyoto or Osaka and is famous for its free-roaming friendly deer. Todai-ji temple houses Japan's largest bronze Buddha statue. Pick up a deer-shaped snack from the local vendors near the park.
