Fuji, Japan's highest mountain and one of Tokyo's iconic symbols, located on Honshu Island in the southwest of the city. First, we head to Hakone, a region in Kanagawa Prefecture famous for its views of Mt. Fuji and natural beauty. At Lake Ashinoko, we take a boat ride with the unique view of Mt. Fuji, then board cable cars from the arrival point and climb up to Mototsumiya Shrine viewpoint. After our photo break, we continue by bus to Oshino Hakkai, an area where melting snow combines with underground water to form natural pools. As the water naturally filters through volcanic rocks, it creates crystal-clear pools. These pools, varying in size and depth, offer stunning reflections of Mt. Fuji. After our guided tour, we head to Gotemba Premium Outlet, one of Japan's largest outlet shopping centers. At the time specified by our guide, we transfer back to our hotel and enjoy free time to rest.

After breakfast, we proceed to the train station for our Shinkansen (high-speed train) journey to Osaka at the time set by our guide. We will only take our daily essentials with us. (Our large suitcases will be transferred separately to our Osaka hotel via a transfer company arranged by our firm.) After an approximately two-and-a-half-hour journey on the high-speed train, which can reach speeds of up to 320 km/h, we arrive in Osaka. Following Tokyo, Osaka is Japan's second-largest metropolitan area, and we begin our city tour. Among the sights to see is the Umeda Sky Building, consisting of two structures each 173 meters long. The Umeda Sky Building comprises two towers, each 173 meters high and 40 stories tall. These towers are connected at the top by an "observatory platform." During our tour, we will ascend to the observatory on the 39th floor and enjoy the panoramic view of Osaka. After visiting the Umeda Sky Building, we move on to the Dotonbori district, which gained fame during the Edo period for its theater stages and performing arts. Today, it has become a vibrant and entertaining tourist attraction that blends traditional Japanese culture with modern entertainment. Osaka is known as Japan's culinary capital, and the Dotonbori district is filled with restaurants that uphold this title. After enjoying some leisure time in the area, we will transfer back to our hotel and have free time to rest.

With our private vehicle, we set off for Kyoto, Japan's former capital and one of the best-preserved centers of traditional culture, famous for its temples, gardens, and traditional neighborhoods. After approximately one hour of travel, we begin our city tour. During World War II, Kyoto was the only place in Japan that was not bombed. The city of Kyoto is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. We start our city tour at Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Visitors are welcomed by a 500-meter walking trail through the bamboo forest. Along this path, you will enjoy pleasant moments listening to the sound of the wind passing through the bamboo and take photos of the forest. Next, we continue with our visit to Kinkakuji Temple. Located in northern Kyoto, Kinkakuji Temple, also known as the Golden Pavilion, is a Zen temple whose top two floors are entirely covered in gold leaf. The impressive structure overlooking a large pond features each floor representing a different architectural style. Then we proceed to Kiyomizu-dera. Kiyomizu-dera is an independent Buddhist temple located in eastern Kyoto. As one of the historic monuments of ancient Tokyo, the temple has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Just below the main hall is the Otowa waterfall, whose waters flow into a pond through three channels. According to belief, these channels symbolize wisdom, health, and longevity, respectively. Next, we move to another important temple in the city, Fushimi Inari. Famous as one of Japan's most renowned Shinto shrines and particularly known for its thousands of orange Torii gates, after our visit here, we proceed to our final stop: Fushimi Inari Taisha, which is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. After our temple visit with a beautiful view of Kyoto city, we transfer back to our hotel and have free time to rest.
OSAKA – NARA – TEA CEREMONY – OSAKA
After breakfast, our guests who wish may join the Extra Osaka Castle & Nara and Tea Ceremony Tour (200€). Our tour begins at Todaiji Temple. Built in 752 with the purpose of being the head of all Buddhist temples, over time its influence grew, and by the 8th century it began to affect politics as well. Todaiji's main hall has earned a place in the record books as the world's largest wooden structure. This massive building houses one of Japan's largest bronze Buddha statues (Daibutsu). Next, we visit Nara Park, a large park in the center of Nara. Established in 1880, it is home to most of Nara's main attractions, including Todaiji, Kasuga Taisha, Kofukuji, and the Nara National Museum. It also hosts hundreds of freely roaming deer. After taking photos with the deer wandering around, we participate in a traditional Tea Ceremony. After experiencing the authentic Japanese tea preparation firsthand, sipping our tea, and enjoying some leisure time in the area, we transfer back to our hotel for free time to rest.
OSAKA – OSAKA CASTLE – OUTLET – ISTANBUL
After breakfast, we check out of the hotel. Osaka Castle, a five-story castle with a history dating back approximately 450 years, is not only one of Japan's most visually magnificent creations but also a beautiful testament to traditional Japanese architecture, from its delicate color balance to the elegant patterns and shapes adorning each floor.
