For those who are looking to dive into the history of Japan while seeing the sights, this tour offers just that! With an English-speaking guide at your side, you will learn more about Japan and its history and culture, all while traveling off the beaten path. You will have the opportunities to stay at ryokan, where you can soak in the natural hot springs, and taste locally produced sake. The spring season in Japan is the most comfortable time to travel, as it is not too hot nor too cold. Different flowers, such as Cherry Blossoms, tulips, or roses, can be viewed as you trail along the wonderous nature of Japan. Join All Japan Tours, as we take you through the mountainous regions of Japan. Enjoy the stunning scenery and beautiful views throughout your journey.

The tour begins in Japan’s former capital, Kyoto. Let this ancient city fascinate you with its aesthetically pleasing atmosphere of Edo Japan with its traditional narrow streets. Appreciate Kurashiki’s historical area and experience a tatami-mat workshop as well as traditional “shamisen” local folk music. We will travel by train along the Japan Sea Coast to Yunotsu, one of the oldest spring towns in Japan as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine. Enjoy soaking and refreshing yourself in the mineral water before heading off towards Tsuwano, a delightful town known as the “Little Kyoto of San’in” with its beautifully scenic streets lined with Edo Period buildings and Koi carp ponds. The journey continues onto the former castle town of Hagi, known for its pottery, and then onto Hiroshima. After visiting the beautiful city of Hiroshima, the journey will take us to the famous Miyajima Island just nearby as well as a secret paradise on the Seto Inland Sea, Sensui-jima Island. Lastly, we will arrive in the lively city of Osaka, where the neon lights and bustling crowds will welcome you back to the modern side of Japan.

Activity Level: Moderate
On our moderate walking tours, you will be on your feet for much of the day to experience the sights listed in the itinerary.

Who is a Moderate tour designed for?
- We recommend moderate tours for anyone who is able to climb stairs and is happy to walk about 1 mile/1.6 km per day.
- If you do not exercise regularly, please practice walking for two to three hours a day about three to six months prior to the tour in order to get the most out of your trip.

Accommodations
This itinerary contains overnight stays at Hotels, Ryokans, and Minshukus. Ryokans and Minshukus are more traditional accommodations, with a more casual hospitality than you will find at a hotel. At both a Ryokan and a Minshuku, you will stay in a simply furnished room and sleep on a futon, which is laid on a tatami mat.
Some Ryokans may have private bathrooms attached to your room, but others only have public bathrooms used by all the guests. Minshukus usually offer only a public bathroom – meaning either a smaller bathroom used one guest at a time, or larger bathrooms separated by gender (male & female), and designed to be used by multiple guests at once.
