Japan, from Tokyo to Mount Fuji

165 activities · 18 cities

Japan fascinates with its contrasts: silent temples and glowing cities, manicured gardens and bullet trains. Food, from sushi to ramen, sets the rhythm of your days.

Tokyo often serves as the gateway. Kyoto and its temples, Osaka and its street food, Nara and its deer extend the itinerary.

From Tokyo, the day trip to Mount Fuji and Hakone offers a day in nature, with a lake, mountain views and a return by bullet train. Activities in Japan also range from cooking classes to shrine visits.
