Central Japan Tours & Trips

Want to experience traditional Japan beyond Tokyo? Central Japan encompasses Kyoto, Kanazawa, Takayama, and Nagoya. Kyoto contains more temples than you can reasonably visit, Fushimi Inari has thousands of torii gates creating tunnels, Arashiyama's bamboo forest towers overhead. Kanazawa offers Kenrokuen garden and geisha districts. Takayama's old town feels like centuries past. All with the Japanese Alps in the background.

    The itinerary was perfect for us, a mixture of big city activities and rural environment. The historical and cultural presentations were enhanced by the professional and friendly guides who always had a ready smile. The accommodations were very nice and the Japanese inn was especially enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour by Europamundo.

    Good basic tour of several of the highlights, with an excellent guide. Felt that it gave me a good grounding for more adventures solo.
