Japan is rich in cultural adventure, with centuries of tradition and craftsmanship. This two‑week journey invites you to experience iconic city highlights, samurai heritage and cultural experiences that are distinctly Japanese – past and present.

Follow the historic Nakasendo and stay in a traditional ryokan inn in Kiso Fukushima, walking preserved post towns along the trail once travelled by warriors and feudal lords.

• Kenbu and geisha experience in Kyoto
• Retro food walk in Osaka's Shinsekai‍
