Memorable Land of the Rising Sun
This choice itinerary, mainly in the Kansai region and in the south of the country, is a stimulating concentration of the Japanese world. On the program: Osaka and its modernity, the wooden castle in Himeji - the most visited in the country - the old capitals Kyoto and Nara, rich in heritage, without forgetting Mount Kōya, where you will sleep in a monastery. And that's not all!
Add to that a string of islands - including Shikoku and its 88 temples - linked by six bridges, Hiroshima, a 300 km/h ride to Kyoto on the Shinkansen train, and the typical ryokan inns, and you have a memorable Japan, where good weather, refinement and gastronomic novelties are part of every day.
