Sample itinerary

We have curated the perfect Japan Getaway special.

Please keep in mind that this is a sample itinerary and your actual itinerary will be adjusted based on your selected activities, dates of travel, and of course your travel style!

Day 1
Welcome to Tokyo!

Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed and escorted via private transfer to your hotel in the heart of the city. After a seamless check-in, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Ease into the rhythm of Japan—take a stroll beneath the glowing city lights, explore the surrounding streets, or indulge in your first authentic bowl of ramen at a nearby local spot.

Day 2
A Taste of Tradition in Kyoto

This morning, you’ll check out and head to Tokyo Station for a ride on the world’s fastest bullet train — the iconic Shinkansen — gliding past Mount Fuji en route to Kyoto. After checking in at your Kyoto hotel, you’ll step into a stunning kimono and experience a traditional Japanese tea ceremony at a centuries-old tea house. It’s a peaceful, photo-worthy moment that beautifully honors Japanese heritage.

Day 3
Arts, Sweets and Scents

Today is all about creativity and calm. Start your morning with a hands-on lesson in crafting wagashi, Japan’s intricate seasonal sweets, in a charming, serene setting. In the afternoon, explore the refined world of Japanese incense through a meditative experience that engages all your senses. This day blends beauty, craftsmanship, and bonding in the most elegant way.

Day 4
Kyoto by Lantern Light

Spend the day discovering Kyoto at your own pace.

In the evening, embark on a guided night walk through the famous Fushimi Inari shrine, where thousands of glowing torii gates create a magical, unforgettable path through the hillside. It’s one of Japan’s most iconic sights — made even more mystical after dark.

Day 5
Dive into Digital Art in Tokyo

After check-out, you’ll return to Tokyo on the bullet train and enjoy a private transfer back to your hotel. In the afternoon, prepare to be amazed at the world-famous teamLab digital art installation — a surreal, dreamlike space where light, sound, and movement interact around you. It’s immersive, futuristic, and totally Instagram-worthy.

Day 6
Harajuku Style Tour & Shopping

Step into Tokyo’s trendiest neighborhood with a private fashion tour through Harajuku — a colorful world of bold street style, kawaii culture, and unique boutiques. This is a fun, youthful experience perfect for snapping pics, finding one-of-a-kind pieces, and seeing Tokyo’s most playful side. The rest of the afternoon is yours for shopping or relaxing.

Day 7
Free Day and Optional Helicopter Ride

Enjoy a full day to explore Tokyo your way — whether that’s hitting up more shopping spots, enjoying some delicious food, or relaxing at a stylish café. Want to go out with a bang? Opt in for a private helicopter ride over the Tokyo skyline at sunset. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime view and the ultimate finale to your trip (additional costs apply).

After check-out, a private transfer will take you to the airport for your departure back home.
