Discover the perfect blend of Japan’s traditional past and vibrant present with Collette’s Japan: Past and Present tour. This small group tour takes you on an 11-day journey through Japan’s iconic cities and cultural sites.
Here are some samples of what you will do on this tour.
Start in Tokyo, where modern skyscrapers sit alongside ancient temples, and dive into the fast-paced energy of one of the world’s largest cities. Visit the Meiji Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken and explore the bustling Tsukiji Outer Market.
After Tokyo, head to the charming city of Kyoto, known for its well-preserved temples, tea houses, and geisha districts. Stroll through the bamboo groves of Arashiyama and witness the beauty of the Golden Pavilion. Your tour also includes visiting Nara, home to the famous deer park and the towering Todai-ji Temple.
Spend an afternoon learning from the famed ama pearl divers on the Mikimoto Pearl Island. Overnight with Buddhist monks in a Japanese monastery atop Mount Koya. See if you can spot Mt. Fuji in the distance as you travel from Tokyo to Ise-Shima on the shinkansen bullet train. Every Collette tour is carefully designed by travelers, for travelers — and we believe this makes all the difference.
These are but a sample of what you will do on this 11-day tour.
Whether you’re daydreaming about cherry blossoms, getting to know the locals, or exploring a culture thousands of years in the making – Japan has it all.
In a single afternoon, your group may zip from the neon-lit streets of Tokyo to a peaceful Buddhist temple. Trade in the hustle and bustle of the city for time sound-bathing in the rustle of a bamboo forest. This incredible spirit, so heavily influenced by past and present, can be felt throughout every avenue of Japan’s rich culture.
