Japan for First Timers – The Classic Route

7 Days

Tokyo 3N, Kanazawa 1N, Kyoto 2N

About Trip: If this is your first time in Japan, this journey is designed to show you everything that matters — without feeling hurried. You start in Tokyo, with two full days to experience both sides of the city — peaceful temples and gardens, colorful shopping streets, Harajuku culture, and the iconic Shibuya Crossing. Next comes a full day around Mount Fuji, where you visit Lake Kawaguchi, Chureito Pagoda, Oshino Hakkai village and Fuji’s 5th Station (weather permitting). It’s a complete Fuji experience — nature, viewpoints, and postcard moments. You then travel by coach to Kanazawa, watching the scenery change as you move from city landscapes to quieter countryside. In Kanazawa, you explore the historic Kanazawa Castle and walk through the beautifully preserved Higashi Chaya District, known for its traditional wooden tea houses and old-world charm. From here, you continue to cultural Kyoto. Walk through thousands of red torii gates, visit historic temples, and enjoy stunning views from the hills. Your journey ends in energetic Osaka, where you explore lively markets, neon-lit streets, Osaka Castle, and vibrant local neighborhoods before returning to Kyoto. This itinerary gives you cities, mountains, temples, markets, and everyday Japanese life — all carefully arranged across seven meaningful days. You don’t just see Japan. You understand it. And when you leave, you carry home not just photos — but a complete first experience of Japan.
