It&#8217;s the easiest way to tackle all the iconic sights in one trip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to navigate through a land where you don\u2019t speak the language can take the fun out of travelling. But with a guide who knows the Tokyo subway system like the back of their hand and a driver to get you from Kanazawa to Kyoto on time, you\u2019re free to lose yourself in the thrumming crowds of Shibuya Crossing and make the pilgrimage through Fushimi Inari\u2019s torii gates at your own pace. Don\u2019t worry what time you need to catch the bullet train from Hachinohe to Mount Fuji or how much it will cost \u2013 your tour has it all sorted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. You&#8217;ll taste incredible food with those in-the-know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan is a gastronomic wonderland, and navigating its cuisine can be both intoxicating and overwhelming. Think of a tour as your culinary concierge, leading you among some of the hidden gems and local haunts that define Japanese cuisine. Wander the vibrant street food markets of Osaka, savour the buttery texture of Kobe beef, dine sumo-style with a <em>chanko nabe<\/em> hot pot and try your hand at rolling udon noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine stepping into a tiny <em>izakaya<\/em> to sample dishes hand-selected by the chef just for you. Expect bold broths, toothsome noodles, delicate desserts and earthy matcha that will have you uttering \u2018<em>itadakimasu<\/em>\u2019 with gusto before each meal. With each bite, polish your umami senses and meditate on the art of Japanese culinary perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"lux_UI lux_single_dealcard

Even the journey is an experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Japan, the route is as enchanting as the destination. Influencing public transport across the globe for more than 50 years, the Shinkansen \u2013 known in English as the &#8216;bullet train&#8217; \u2013 will not just get you from point A to B, it&#8217;ll offer you incredible views at speeds of up to 300 kilometres-per-hour. As you zip across the country, partake in the long-standing tradition of <em>ekiben<\/em>, a boxed meal crafted specially for in-carriage consumption, sometimes even presented in a take-home souvenir box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re speeding through the countryside on rails, cruising along scenic rivers or navigating the intricate web of underground Tokyo, every mode of transport offers a unique adventure. These moments, often overlooked during stressful self-guided travel, become joys themselves, offering a chance to appreciate the country\u2019s diverse geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover Japan<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Discover Japan\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_tour-de6e7a67-656b-40b0-b15b-86241e7755d4\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_tour cacheid_34f3bd0ed842c3e1ef13714887ba75b8\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/tour\/tour-de6e7a67-656b-40b0-b15b-86241e7755d4\/insider-series-10-day-japan-foodie-tour-co-curated-by-gary-mehigan-asia-base\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"tour carousel LuxPlus \" data-name=\"Insider Series: 10-Day Japan Foodie Tour Co-Curated by Gary Mehigan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/i1qu2duuiqbeb3llt01v\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/i1qu2duuiqbeb3llt01v 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/i1qu2duuiqbeb3llt01v 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/i1qu2duuiqbeb3llt01v 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/i1qu2duuiqbeb3llt01v 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/i1qu2duuiqbeb3llt01v 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"Insider Series: 10-Day Japan Foodie Tour Co-Curated by Gary Mehigan by \" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><\/div><div class=\"location\"><span>Japan<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Insider Series: 10-Day Japan Foodie Tour Co-Curated by Gary Mehigan<\/div><div class=\"meta\">10 days, Tour<\/div><div class=\"deal_info\"><div class=\"nights\">10 days from<\/div><div class=\"range luxplus\"><span class=\"currency\">US<\/span><span class=\"price\">$4,969<\/span><span class=\"with_luxplus\">\/person with <em><\/em><\/span><\/div><div class=\"range range_small\"><span class=\"label\">Non-member<\/span><span class=\"currency\">US<\/span><span class=\"price\">$5,071<\/span><\/div><div class=\"value_box\"><span class=\"value\">Valued up to US$18,373<\/span><span class=\"percentage\">-72%<\/span><\/div><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"offer_tour-afd3cb64-1131-457a-bce0-078cd0711fbf\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_tour cacheid_34f3bd0ed842c3e1ef13714887ba75b8\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/tour\/tour-afd3cb64-1131-457a-bce0-078cd0711fbf\/15d-japan-tour-2026-with-shinkansen-bullet-train-base\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"tour carousel LuxPlus \" data-name=\"Deluxe 15-Day Best of Japan with Tokyo, Hiroshima &#038;
