Signature Series: 7-Day Japan Exclusive Tour through Tokyo, Kyoto & Osaka with Khanh Ong

From Osaka’s neon-lit streets and riverside ramen shops to the bubblegum fashion of Tokyo’s legendary Takeshita Street, this exclusive Signature Series tour takes you through Japan’s most iconic experiences like never before.

This seven-day, once-in-a-lifetime journey hosted by MasterChef Australia favourite Khanh Ong is jam-packed with his culinary insights and signature flair. With Khanh at your side, this is your backstage pass to one of the most spectacular destinations in the world: from sushi-making masterclasses and street food crawls in Osaka to finding moments of silence in Kyoto (particularly valuable for an ex-DJ!).

Khanh’s insights are backed by a carefully curated celebration of culture, cuisine and tradition; alongside the services of an expert local guide, this itinerary is packed with special moments across four of Japan’s most iconic cities. Join Khanh on a journey through Osaka, Nara, Kyoto and Tokyo as you experience the country’s greatest hits in the company of one of Australia’s most beloved food personalities.

In Osaka, step through time as you explore Osaka Castle’s maze-like interiors, wander the retro-themed landmarks of Shinsekai and dive into the legendary nightlife district of Dotonbori, where giant robot crabs and towering neon signs light the way. Follow with a stop in Nara, where sacred deer bow freely amid sprawling temple grounds.

Kyoto reveals its treasures: enjoy a walking tour through Gion’s magnificently preserved wooden houses and teahouses, climb through thousands of vermillion torii gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha and find stillness in Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, before boarding the iconic Shinkansen bullet train to Tokyo.

In Tokyo, explore Tsukiji Outer Market’s vibrant stalls with Khanh, stroll through upscale Ginza and hunt for Harajuku’s wildest fashion on Takeshita Street. Navigate Shibuya Crossing’s organized chaos, discover ancient Senso-ji Temple, and cap it off at Tokyo Skytree, where the entire city sprawls beneath you.

With Khanh’s infectious enthusiasm throughout, an expert guide and Signature Highlights – including a welcome dinner at famed house of okonomiyaki Chibo and a farewell dinner at Tokyo’s Gonpachi (inspiration for ‘Kill Bill’) – this is Japan at its most essential.
