Scenic Getaway to Japan Highlights
Scenic Getaway to Japan Overview
Japan is unlike any destination on earth. It is a country where a 1,400-year-old wooden temple and a bullet train travelling at 320 kilometres per hour can exist in the same view, and where the chaos of one of the world’s largest cities melts seamlessly into the stillness of a Zen garden. This 8-day Japan holiday has been built for Indian travellers discovering Japan for the first time, tracing a journey through four of its most compelling and contrasting cities: Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto, and Osaka.
Tokyo is your introduction to modern Japan at its most electrifying. A full-day guided city tour by bus sweeps you past the Senso-ji Temple and its iconic Five-Story Pagoda, the neon corridors of Akihabara, the fashion-forward streets of Harajuku, the solemnity of Meiji Shrine, and the observation decks that reveal Tokyo’s endless skyline. It is a city that rewards every sense simultaneously, from the aroma of street ramen to the visual spectacle of Shibuya Crossing at rush hour.
Hiroshima offers the journey’s most moving chapter: the Peace Memorial Museum and Atomic Bomb Dome, followed by a ferry crossing to Miyajima Island to witness the legendary floating Torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine rising from the Seto Inland Sea. It is a day that stays with you long after you return home, balancing profound reflection with one of Japan’s most breathtaking natural landscapes.
Kyoto is where Japan’s soul resides. Three nights here allow you to explore the Fushimi Inari Shrine’s thousands of vermillion torii gates, wander the ethereal Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, encounter free-roaming Sika deer in Nara Park, and absorb the gold-leafed grandeur of Kinkaku-ji. A guided full-day tour with buffet lunch ties it all together. The journey concludes in Osaka, where the food-first culture, Dotonbori’s neon-lit canal, and the warmth of its people provide the perfect, energising farewell to Japan.
Scenic Getaway to Japan Itinerary
Land at Narita International Airport and transfer to your Deluxe hotel in Tokyo, where the evening is yours to begin absorbing the city’s extraordinary energy: wander the lantern-lit lanes around Senso-ji, browse Akihabara’s electronics maze, or simply sip matcha and watch the world move at Japanese precision.
Board a guided bus tour that sweeps you through Tokyo’s greatest chapters: the ancient grandeur of Senso-ji Temple and its Five-Story Pagoda, the forested serenity of Meiji Shrine, the fashion streets of Harajuku, the organised chaos of Shibuya Crossing, and Tokyo Tower, with lunch included at a local restaurant.
Board the legendary Shinkansen bullet train for a high-speed journey to Hiroshima, checking into your Deluxe hotel in time for an unhurried afternoon to explore the city’s riverfronts, vibrant Hondori shopping arcade, or simply rest before tomorrow’s deeply moving day.
Spend a morning at Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Museum and the haunting Atomic Bomb Dome, then ferry across to Miyajima Island to witness the iconic floating Torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine rising from the Seto Inland Sea, surrounded by deer and dense mountain forests.
Travel to Kyoto, Japan’s ancient imperial capital and spiritual heartland, arriving in time to walk the tunnel of thousands of vermillion torii gates winding up Fushimi Inari Mountain at golden hour, one of the most photographed and transcendent experiences in all of Japan.
Immerse yourself in Kyoto’s greatest wonders on a guided full-day tour with buffet lunch: the rustling Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, the gold-leafed splendour of Kinkaku-ji, and Nara Park, where over a thousand sacred free-roaming Sika deer bow for rice crackers offered by delighted visitors.
Spend a free day discovering Kyoto on your own terms: wander the cobblestone lanes of Gion’s geisha district at dawn before the crowds arrive, explore the vibrant Nishiki Market’s street food stalls, or meditate in the stone garden of Ryoan-ji Temple.
Make your way to Osaka for a final morning of Japan’s food capital at its most exuberant: takoyaki and okonomiyaki along the neon-lit Dotonbori canal, a last look at Osaka Castle’s moat gardens, and then a transfer to Kansai International Airport carrying a Japan that has permanently changed how you see the world.

Know Before You Go Scenic Getaway to Japan
International flights and Shinkansen (bullet train) tickets between cities are not included in the package price and must be booked separately.
A Japan tourist visa is required for Indian passport holders and must be arranged independently before travel; our team can guide you through the application process.
Remove shoes when entering temples, traditional ryokans, and private homes; look for the genkan (entrance area) as your cue.
Tipping is not customary in Japan and can sometimes be considered rude; excellent service is simply the Japanese standard.
Avoid making phone calls on trains and public transport; speaking in a low voice is expected and respected.
Do not leave chopsticks upright in a bowl of rice, as this is associated with funeral rituals and considered deeply disrespectful.
Japan uses Type A and B power sockets at 100V; Indian travellers should carry a compatible adapter and voltage converter if needed.
IC cards such as Suica or Pasmo are the easiest way to pay for local trains, buses, and convenience store purchases throughout Japan.
Cherry blossom season (late March to early April) and autumn foliage (mid-November) are peak periods; book well in advance as hotels and flights fill up months ahead.

FAQs
No, Shinkansen tickets between cities are not included and must be purchased separately. A Japan Rail Pass, bought before departure from India, is highly recommended for travellers covering multiple cities as it offers significant savings.
Yes. Poketix Travel can customise the itinerary to include additional cities such as Hakone for Mount Fuji views, Sapporo for winter snow experiences, or Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. Ryokan (traditional inn) upgrades and cherry blossom season add-ons are also available.
March to May is ideal for cherry blossom season, while October to November offers stunning autumn foliage. Both periods require early booking. June to August is hot and humid; December to February can be cold but peaceful and less crowded.
Japan can be challenging for strict vegetarians, as many dishes contain dashi (fish-based broth). However, Buddhist temple cuisine (shojin ryori), tofu dishes, edamame, and select ramen shops offer vegetarian-friendly options. Our team can advise on suitable restaurants.
Japan is considered one of the safest and most traveller-friendly countries in the world. English signage is available at major tourist sites and train stations, the country is exceptionally clean and punctual, and locals are unfailingly polite and helpful.
Yes, Indian passport holders require a Japan tourist visa, which must be obtained from the Japanese Embassy or Consulate before travel. Our team can guide you through the documentation process; visa fees are not included in the package.
Japan uses the Japanese Yen (JPY). While credit cards are increasingly accepted at hotels, department stores, and larger restaurants, many temples, local eateries, and small shops remain cash-only. Carry sufficient yen for day-to-day expenses.
The package includes Deluxe category hotels throughout: 2 nights in Tokyo, 2 nights in Hiroshima, and 3 nights in Kyoto, all with daily breakfast. Hotels are centrally located with good access to public transport.
