Day-by-day itinerary
Met on arrival and taken into the city. Nothing is scheduled beyond checking in and finding dinner nearby — the first evening is for adjusting, not sightseeing. · Tokyo · Private airport transfer
Asakusa and the Senso-ji approach in the morning, then the Ueno museums or the Yanaka lanes — the low-rise, older Tokyo that survives between the towers. · Tokyo
The cedar-lined calm of Meiji Jingu, then the opposite extreme — Shibuya's crossing and Shinjuku after dark, with time for Ginza or the Tsukiji outer market. · Tokyo
Out to the Fuji foothills for Lake Ashi and the ropeway over the sulphur vents at Owakudani. Fuji shows itself when the weather allows. The night is at an onsen ryokan. · Hakone · Bullet train & mountain railway
South to the old capital, arriving with the afternoon free for Fushimi Inari — the torii tunnels thin out markedly in the last hours of light. · Kyoto · Shinkansen
Kinkaku-ji's gold pavilion early, then Arashiyama for the bamboo groves and the Katsura riverfront on the city's western edge. · Kyoto
A short train to Nara for Todai-ji's Great Buddha and the deer park, back to Kyoto for the Gion lanes as the lanterns come on. · Nara · overnight Kyoto · Local train
A last unhurried Kyoto morning before the transfer for your onward flight. · Kyoto · Private transfer
