Itinerary
Day 1
Tokyo
We highly recommend booking pre-accommodation to fully experience all that is Tokyo.
Day 2
Tokyo
Get your bearings with an orientation walk before enjoying free time to explore buzzing Tokyo. Opt to check out Yoyogi Park, Asakusa shrine, quirky Harajuku, Shibuya Crossing, or explore the city's massive selection of shops and cafés.
Day 3
Tokyo/Takayama
Board a bullet train to picturesque Takayama, surrounded by the Japanese Alps. Take in the quaint streets of old town—lined with craft shops and sake breweries (mid-day sake bombs anyone?)—on a CEO-led orientation walk. Enjoy the rest of the day to explore the area. In the evening, kick back and relax in a traditional inn complete with tatami floors, Japanese futons, and an onsen hot spring. Delight in a restorative soak in the healing waters.
Day 4
Takayama/Kyoto
Catch a train to Japan's imperial capital, Kyoto, and spend the rest of the day discovering this historic city. Then tonight, grab a drink (if you drink) during your Big Night Out! After a beer, you can opt to release your inner rock star during a karaoke session. Or visit one of Kyoto's many famous izakayas! Kanpai!
Day 5
Kyoto
Kyoto is yours to explore today and the options are endless, so grab a buddy and get out there! Visit some of Kyoto's beautiful temples, participate in a tea ceremony, or take a calligraphy class (so you can make that postcard home look extra fancy).
Day 6
Kyoto
We highly recommend booking post-accommodation to fully experience this iconic city.

Customer reviews & ratings
Had the best time with the best people - will never forget it! High quality of accommodation - I'm not a fan of hostels so I was slightly anxious but Gadventures really found the best places to stay. Very fun activities, lots to see in a short time. Great if you want to get a good impression of Japan. Lovely and thoughtful CEO Fuji.
