"Koyou", or autumn leaves viewing, is a popular tradition in Japan. It is the autumn equivalent of "hanami", or cherry blossoms viewing, in spring. During the months of October through November, Japan's countryside is transformed into a carpet of gold, oranges and reds. Mountains cloaked in deciduous forest and serene Zen landscape gardens offer numerous autumn photo opportunities. You will be seeing Japan when its maple trees, mountain ash, gingko, cherry, larch and other deciduous trees are displaying their best fall foliage.

This itinerary feature national parks, culture, architecture, and "must see" sights of Tokyo, Takayama, Kanazawa and Kyoto. The tour begins in Tokyo, following a route of mountainous interior through coastal regions of Honshu island, and finishes in Osaka. Our private guides and drivers will help you navigate Tokyo's cultural landmarks, fashionable neighborhoods and diverse shopping districts. Learn how to make your own sushi with a professional sushi chef and savor your delicious creations. Explore attractions like the Asakusa district with an atmosphere of old Tokyo, Japan's largest and busiest fish market, drive by the historical Imperial Palace, and take in the view from the record-breaking Tokyo Skytree’s main observation deck.

See how impressive mother nature is at Hakone and Mt. Fuji. Stay at an onsen hotel (Japanese style room), where you can unwind in the hot springs (onsen) and dine on gourmet kaiseki cuisine. Visit the dramatic Black Crow Castle (Matsumoto Castle) en route to Takayama, located amongst the Japanese Alps. Due to their remote location, these places are beautifully preserved and developed their own culture that is unique from the rest of Japan. Visit the charming village of Shirakawa-go and understand what gassho-zukuri architectural style is. You'll also have a chance to visit the beautiful, but often overlooked by Western tourists, city of Kanazawa. Here, you'll visit the Kenrokuen Garden (one of Japan's top three gardens) and see what six attributes make a perfect landscape.

Visit Osaka and Nara as well as the ancient city of Kyoto, where you will have exclusive access to the city's gardens, temples, shrines and specialty shops. You'll also get the opportunity to experience a traditional green tea ceremony hosted by an apprentice geisha (maiko) , and stroll the beautiful Arashiyama, the outskirt of Kyoto, famous for its beautiful autumn leaves.

This itinerary is designed for you to see both the modern, innovative as well as the traditional, unspoiled Japan while taking advantage of the season to enjoy nature's gorgeous fall foliage.
