Visits

Kanazawa, Kyoto, Osaka, Takayama, Tokyo

Highlights

  • Learn the tricks of the trade when you take part in a hands-on sushi-making class in Tokyo, pick local produce from the market before a cooking class in Kanazawa and make your own okonomiyaki in Osaka.

  • When you’re not busy eating, enjoy iconic experiences like wandering the streets of Tokyo, Kenroku-en garden in Kyoto, the glowing signs of Osaka’s Dotonbori district, learning Buddhist history in Koya-san and walking through Kyoto’s Gion district.
  • Feast on delicious Japanese cuisine, from street food to restaurant favourites – including ekiben, sushi, matcha, takoyaki, okonomiyaki and fresh seafood.
  • Sip on sake, the national drink of Japan, during a visit to a local sake brewery in Kyoto. Learn how sake is made and maybe even pick up a bottle (or two) to take home.

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Highlights

  • Osaka: Explore the fascinating Osaka Castle, a famous landmark that was pivotal in the reunification of Japan during the 16th century. Marvel at the variety of cultural artefacts showcasing the history of Osaka.
  • Osaka: Visit the top of the Floating Garden Observatory in the Umeda Sky Building for incredible city views.
  • Experience traveling like a local as you ride the high-speed bullet train. Catch views of snow capped mountains and quaint Japanese towns as you journey between each city. This feat of modern engineering brings new joy to train rides.
  • Hiroshima: Spend some quiet moments in the emotive Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and see the A-Bomb Dome, the only structure left standing.
  • Kyoto: Wander around the famous Giouji Temple, where the bamboo trees and green groves inspire relaxation. This tiny temple with the thatched roof entrance is a sanctuary and one of the most scenic temples you’ll see in the city.

  • Choose a tour offering unique experiences or off-the-beaten-path destinations to make your trip memorable.

  • Opt for smaller group tours for a more personalized experience and better interaction with your guide.

  • Prioritize safety by ensuring the tour operator adheres to strict safety standards and provides adequate insurance coverage.

  • Consider the environmental impact of your tour and choose operators committed to responsible and sustainable tourism practices.

  • Research the local cuisine and be adventurous with your food choices to fully immerse yourself in the culture.

  • Pack light and smart, focusing on versatile clothing and essential items to stay comfortable during the tour.

  • Take advantage of local guides' knowledge and expertise to gain deeper insights into the destinations you visit.

  • Stay flexible and open-minded to unexpected changes or opportunities that may arise during your escorted tour.
