Day-by-day itinerary
You arrive at Narita or Haneda airport and transfer to your hotel. The rest of the day is free to adjust to the time difference. · Tokyo
A full day of Tokyo sightseeing on a seat-in-coach basis, covering the principal sights across the older and modern halves of the city. Entrance fees for the sightseeing listed in this itinerary are included. Tokyo holds five nights on this itinerary, the longest single stay of the trip. · Tokyo
A full day southwest to Mount Fuji and Hakone on a seat-in-coach basis, taking in the Fuji 5th Station and the caldera below it. Entrance fees for the listed sightseeing are included. A clear view of the mountain depends on the weather and is never promised. · Tokyo
A day at Tokyo Disneyland with a regular-pass ticket. The ticket is included; transfers to and from the park are not, so reaching it is your own arrangement and at your own cost. The park sits east of the city and is busiest at weekends and in Japanese school holidays. · Tokyo
No touring is scheduled today. Tokyo rewards an unplanned day once you have the measure of it, and the rail network makes the districts easy to move between. Anything you arrange is at your own cost. · Tokyo
You travel from Tokyo to Kyoto by Shinkansen. Kyoto is lower and older than Tokyo, laid out on an eighth-century grid. The rest of the day is free. · Kyoto
A full day across Kyoto. It escaped wartime bombing, which is why so many of its temples, shrines and gardens survive. The day covers the principal sites. · Kyoto
You check out of Kyoto and travel by road to Osaka, taking in Nara on the way — the older capital, where deer move freely through the park around the Todai-ji temple complex. · Osaka
A day at Universal Studios Japan with a regular-pass ticket. The park sits on Osaka Bay and is busiest at weekends and in school holidays. The ticket is included; transfers are not. · Osaka
No touring is scheduled today. Osaka is a walking city and its central districts run into one another, so the day is easy to fill. Anything you arrange is at your own cost. · Osaka
Breakfast at the hotel, then check out and a transfer to the airport for your onward flight. Your onward flight is not part of this package, so allow the check-in time your airline requires.
