Japan Kanto & Kansai 6 Days 5 Nights: Tokyo, Mt Fuji, Nagoya, Kyoto, Nara & Osaka

Tokyo→Mt. Fuji→Nagoya→Kyoto→Nara→Osaka
Six days from Tokyo to Osaka along Japan’s classic route: Senso-ji and Asakusa in Tokyo, a night at a hot-spring hotel by Mt Fuji with dinner, the Fuji 5th Station and Oshino Hakkai, Nagoya Castle, Kyoto’s Golden Pavilion, Gion and the torii gates of Fushimi Inari, the deer of Nara Park, and an evening in Osaka’s Dotonbori. You stay in 4 to 5-star hotels in the city centres of Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, with an English-speaking guide. Departures are every Monday. In cherry-blossom season (22 March – 12 April) and autumn-colour season (18 October – 15 November) the route adds seasonal stops. How the price works: from CAD $1,749 per person sharing a twin or double room (CAD $1,979 on high-season dates), land only — flights to Tokyo and home from Osaka are not included. A service fee of CAD $150 per person, which covers the gratuities for your guide and driver, is added at checkout; the estimate on this page already includes it.
