Tokyo

Tokyo is modern Japan’s beating heart. Here austere Shinto shrines sit cheek-by-jowl with vibrant shopping centers, and glitzy high-rises tower over beautiful cherry blossom trees. The city offers everything from history and culture to shopping, entertainment and great food. If you are looking for something, chances are you will find it in Tokyo. The city’s food scene is second to none. Tokyo features local and regional Japanese cuisine as well as international cuisines of all flavors. Its chefs have more Michelin stars than any other city but even small, tucked away places are likely to serve delicious food. There are dozens of museums of all stripes. The Tokyo National Museum is spread across multiple buildings and houses the largest collection of national treasures and important cultural items in Japan. The National Museum of Western Art was designed by the famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier and is a world heritage site. The city is also home to the Tokyo Skytree, the tallest structure in Japan. Head up to the deck for stunning, panoramic views of the city.

Kyoto

Kyoto is arguably the cultural capital of Japan. It was the seat of power and home of the Japanese Emperor from the 6th to the 17th century and was largely spared from destruction during World War II. As a result, the city’s rich heritage remains mostly intact. To walk through Kyoto today is to walk through Japan’s past. It contains 2,000 religious places, including some of the most famous temples in the country. Kiyomizu-dera is a wooden temple set on a mountainside that offers fantastic views, while Ryōan-ji is renowned for its zen rock garden. Add in numerous palaces and gardens and Kyoto is home to an astonishing number of Japan’s National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties. Seventeen of these are also UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Kyoto Imperial Palace and the Kyoto Tower. The latter is the tallest building in the city and a rare modern landmark. To fuel your cultural exploration, you can sample Kyoto’s distinctive culinary traditions such as kaiseki, traditional Japanese multi-course haute cuisine.

The town boasts a gorgeous castle that sits on the banks of the Asahi River, which has been dubbed ‘Crow Castle’ due to its blackish exterior although the castle also has remnants of its original gold gilded roof. Across from the castle sits one of the town’s most famous attractions and Japan’s premier landscape, the beautiful Korakuen Garden.

Nagasaki

Amble into Nagasaki, a beautiful harbor city on the northwestern coast of Kyushu island in Japan. With its backdrop of rolling hills standing guard over the meandering Uragami river, the city has charmed diverse communities and people into calling it home. Close to mainland Asia, foreign traders, merchants, and missionaries have thronged to Nagasaki since the 16th century. The only trading port during national isolation, the city has played a significant role in modernizing Japan. Walk around its busy streets and you’ll see many a trace of foreign influence on the architecture, food, and culture. Dutch colonial buildings stand alongside imposing Catholic Churches. Narrow lantern-lit streets give way to Western-style boulevards, and enticing aromas waft in from local streetside carts just outside fine dining international restaurants – this is where the East meets the West! Infamously bombed during World War II, Nagasaki’s bomb museums, monuments, installations, and memorials, add to the city’s ample character.

Included activities

Nagasaki: A Colorful Fusion of Civilizations

Kanazawa

Kanazawa is perhaps best known for its 17th century castle garden Kenroku-en. It is equally well known as the neighbor of the quintessential Japanese feudal fortress, Kanazawa Castle. In addition, Kanazawa is known for its gold leaf, which you can get to know in the form of museums and craftworks as well as decoration of chopsticks and other items. A serious rival of Kyoto, this historical outlier has only recently re-emerged on the intrepid traveler’s map, as Kanazawa is now connected to Tokyo by Japan’s network of high-speed railway lineas (Shinkansen). To get an authentic feel of how feudal Japan may have been like, Kanazawa has preserved various quarters that the land’s samurai and geisha used to inhabit. Lose yourself in the beautiful marketplaces, serene temples and the many museums dotting this exquisite city!

(Duration: 1 hr; Fitness Level: Easy; Transfers not included. Please do not wear perfume or cosmetics with a strong aroma. Tea ceremonies involve kneeling on tatami mats but chairs can be provided on advance notice.)

Treasures of Kanazawa

Discover the glorious 17th century Kenroku-en, renowned among Japan’s top three gardens.

A sophisticated water system feeds its two ponds – Kasumigaike and Hisagoike. The centerpiece of the garden is a huge two-legged stone lantern – Kotojitoro. Walk on its meandering paths that cut across forests of cherry trees and Karasaki pine. Drop by the well-preserved Seisoanku Samurai villa next door. Later, you will also visit the unique samurai district of Nagamachi. Nomura-ke, the showstopper of this district, is a historic samurai residence with Edo Period heirloom antiques, samurai calligraphy, an lovely courtyard garden, and a tea ceremony room. See the 400-year old Japanese bayberry tree on the premises, Japanese cypress ceilings, and traditional fusuma-e paintings.

What Our Guests Say

Enchanting Travels did an excellent job of planning, coordinating, and executing our trip. This was our first trip with Enchanting Travels and we would definitely recommend them and we will definitely use them again. They have an outstanding staff and listened to our needs and developed a trip within our budget. While I was skeptical about having a coordinator in another country, it worked; when we needed help addressing issues, which were minor, they were on it quickly and efficiently and effectively. This is a first rate operation.

We used Enchanting Travels for our honeymoon in Japan, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. They handled everything, making the planning completely stress-free, even down to details like the best seats on the train if you have luggage with you and timing train arrivals to match hotel check in times. Every activity they arranged was absolutely top-tier. The local guides they booked were standout—knowledgeable, flexible, and always ready to adjust or enhance our plans. We couldn’t help but feel fortunate compared to others on group tours, as we had private guides who made us feel like VIPs throughout the trip. The app they provided was also a great tool, keeping everything organized and easily accessible. Thanks to them, our honeymoon was even more memorable than we could have imagined. Highly recommend them for any trip!

What a beautiful time we had in Japan! Can’t wait to go back! Shannon created the most personalized trip for my husband and myself. Everything that was important for us to see or do in Japan she made it happen! Could not ask for a better trip or experience! Emma Silk was there for us the entire journey. She even left me a tea ceremony kit to keep in our first hotel. Enchanting Travels goes above and beyond on their trips and for their customers! We highly recommend. Love, Joel and Tracy Padgett. ♥️😊

Japan was incredible. Experiencing Tokyo and Kyoto was a great balance that showcased the true beauty of this country and its culture. My itinerary had great structure and I never had a worry. I left feeling like there’s nothing more I could’ve seen or done to make my trip better and I think that’s all anyone can ask for!

Darren Waller

USA

We are truly grateful to have come across Enchanting Travels. After my husband and I tried to plan our trip ourselves…we made the right choice paying for the package we did. It was truly a wonderful experience being able to not worry about transportation and having guides (Keiko & Taku were AMAZING) teach us about the culture, history, and much more. We signed up to have more of the private transfer in Japan than public – so worth it! Everyone was on time and very prompt for every activity we were doing. We just can’t say enough and we will be going to Japan again. Thank you Enchanting Travels!
