What You’ll Discover
At MyJapanTour, we designed these eleven days to reveal Japan the way it unfolds best: slowly, and from its cultural heart outward. We open in Tokyo, where the ancient Sensō-ji Temple in Asakusa stands within sight of the Skytree, then guide you west by Shinkansen through the coastal towns of Yokohama and Kamakura to Kyoto, the quiet keeper of Japan's heritage. We have built in the moments we think matter most, from a traditional boat dinner beneath the city lights to a walk beneath the vermilion gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, and we have kept the pace unhurried, balancing our guided days with free time of your own. Our aim is simple: that by the time you reach the Great Buddha and the sacred deer of Nara, you understand why we keep returning to Japan, and want to return yourself.
Sip first-press raw sake, poured straight from the tank, at one of the oldest working sake breweries in central Kyoto — still run by the same family 12 generations on, and pressing a namazake you'll rarely find outside the brewery gates.
Wander through teamLab Borderless, a museum without a map where digital artworks break free of their frames, flowing across walls and floors and shifting in response to your presence.
Ride to the top of Tokyo Skytree, at 634 meters the tallest tower in Japan and one of the tallest structures on Earth, and watch the largest city in the world spread out beneath you until it fades into the horizon.
Cross the country on the Shinkansen, the bullet train that runs at up to 285 km/h — a journey that once took days now folds into a couple of comfortable hours, with a bento on your lap and Mount Fuji country blurring past the window.
Walk among more than 1,000 wild sacred deer in Nara, Japan's 1,300-year-old first capital, where they roam completely free and a few will bow their heads to you for a cracker — then stand beneath a bronze Great Buddha some 15 meters tall, inside one of the largest wooden buildings in the world.

Day 1
Pass under the Kaminarimon, its huge red lantern hanging low overhead, and walk Nakamise through the crowds — past stalls of grilled rice crackers and paper fans — into Sensō-ji Temple, the oldest in the city. Next door, step into the Sumida Hokusai Museum and trace the life of the artist behind the Great Wave, the most recognizable image in all of Japanese art. Ride up the Tokyo Skytree to 350 meters and look out over a metropolis that runs to the horizon. After dark, step aboard a yakatabune, slip off your shoes, settle onto the tatami, and eat as Tokyo's lit-up bridges and towers slide past the window and shimmer on the black water.

Day 2
Start at the Imperial Palace, walking its broad stone moats and pine-lined gravel paths — an island of calm that the emperor's family still calls home, at the center of one of the busiest cities on earth. Cross into Nihonbashi, standing on the bridge from which every distance in old Japan was once measured, then browse Ginza block by block, past flagship stores and glowing displays. In the late afternoon, step into teamLab Borderless, where the artworks have no frames and no fixed rooms — walk through light and color that spill across the floor and shift in response to your presence. Linger among the shifting light until the artworks and your reflection blur together.

Day 3
Trade skyscrapers for sea air today. Duck into the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum first, down into a perfectly rebuilt 1950s streetscape — pick a shop, push through the curtain, and slurp a bowl from one region, then try another. Walk the harbor in the sea breeze, past cargo cranes and a Ferris wheel, and wander the red-brick warehouses that once loaded ships and now hold cafes and shops. As the lanterns come on, head into Yokohama Chinatown, the largest in Japan, and follow the crowds through the steam and the smell of the grills. Round off the night with a bowl of noodles or a bao bun eaten on the move.

Day 4
Slow right down in Kamakura, a seaside town of temples set in wooded hills. Come face to face with the Great Buddha of Kōtoku-in Temple — a great bronze figure seated in the open air — or, as an alternative, climb the flower-lined slopes of Hase-dera Temple with the sea glinting below. Bow at Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū Shrine at the heart of the old samurai capital, then graze your way down Komachi Street. In the afternoon, cross the short causeway to Enoshima, a little island of shrine steps, sea views, and a lighthouse looking out over the coast.

Day 5
Board the Shinkansen and feel it pull away so smoothly that only the vanishing platform gives it away; two hours later, step off in Kyoto. Head straight for Sanjūsangen-dō Temple — walk the length of a wooden hall longer than a football field, past 1,001 gilded, life-sized Kannon statues ranked shoulder to shoulder in the low light. Then dive into Nishiki Market, a narrow covered lane four centuries in the making, and eat your way past pickle barrels, tofu stalls, and skewers before the streets of Kawaramachi carry you into the Kyoto evening.

Day 6
Wake to the Kyoto of a hundred postcards. Stand before Kinkaku-ji Temple, the Golden Pavilion, two floors of gold leaf doubled so perfectly in the pond you look twice to tell which is real. Climb the old lanes to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and step out onto its vast wooden stage, set high on tall pillars over a green wooded hillside, the whole city spread below. Then shift gears completely: at Matsui Sake Brewery, the oldest working sake brewery in central Kyoto, watch how rice, water, and time become sake, then taste one cup after another and decide for yourself which to carry home.

Day 7
Leave the city today for the quiet lake country at Kyoto's edge. Stand before Shirahige Shrine, where a single vermilion torii gate rises from the water of Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake, seeming to float just offshore. Then climb Mt. Hieizan, following cedar-lined paths through cool mountain air up to Enryaku-ji Temple, a vast mountaintop monastery founded more than 1,200 years ago and once home to armies of warrior monks. From the heights, look out over the whole lake and the mountains beyond. Breathe the cool, resin-scented air and let the mountain quiet settle over you.

Day 8
Step straight onto a movie set today. Walk the streets of Uzumasa Kyoto Village, a working film studio built as a whole Edo-era town — wooden merchant lanes, a shrine gate, an old courthouse, even a ninja house of hidden doors and trick staircases. Watch costumed performers stage sword fights, try on period costume, or catch a live show between takes. Then finish at Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine: climb through thousands of vermilion torii gates that form glowing tunnels up the sacred mountain — push past the first stretch, and the crowds thin, the forest closes in, and you climb on in near silence.

Day 9
Spend the last Kyoto morning inside the seat of a thousand years of imperial power. Walk the Kyoto Imperial Palace, where emperors held court for over a millennium, its broad white gravel courtyards and unpainted wooden halls embodying a quiet, understated grandeur. Then tour Nijō Castle, the shoguns' Kyoto stronghold and a UNESCO World Heritage site: cross its "nightingale floors," built to chirp like birds under the lightest step so no intruder could pass unheard, and stand in the great audience chambers where the balance of power once played out. In the afternoon, transfer to Osaka — louder, warmer, more open. Trace the painted screens and worn timber of halls where shoguns once held court.

Day 10
Meet Osaka's quiet side and its roar in a single day. Start gently — walk through Kitahama, where elegant early-modern buildings line the river, and explore the world-class Museum of Oriental Ceramics. But Osaka is a city of the senses, so by evening, plunge into Dōtonbori: crane up at the towering neon, the famous running-man sign and the giant mechanical crab, the air thick with takoyaki and sizzling okonomiyaki. Follow the crowds from the glowing canal into Shinsaibashi, a covered arcade running half a kilometer, where Osaka's appetite for food, fashion, and fun runs late into the night. Snack your way down the arcade on takoyaki and skewers as the neon flickers overhead.

Day 11
End where Japan's history began: Nara, the country's first permanent capital, more than 1,300 years old. Follow a path of hundreds of moss-covered stone lanterns up to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, pause at the Ukimidō pavilion floating on its own reflection, and walk into Nara Park, where more than 1,000 sacred deer roam free — hold out a cracker and a few will bow their heads before taking it. Then step inside Tōdai-ji Temple and look up: a bronze Great Buddha some 15 meters tall, seated in the dim, cavernous hall of one of the largest wooden buildings in the world. Feed the bowing deer a cracker before stepping into the hush of the Great Buddha hall.
