Itinerary
Arrive in Tokyo and head to the hostel to check in and meet your Tru Leader. If you’re up for it, explore a bit before we all meet for a welcome dinner and our first night out.
This morning we’ll explore Tokyo, including a visit to Senso-ji Temple and a quick matcha stop. Then it’s time for a sake tasting before heading to the bright lights of Shinjuku to wrap up our first full day in Japan.
It’s our last full day in Tokyo! We’ll visit the Meiji Shrine before heading to Omoide Yokocho for food and drinks. After dinner, rest up, or join us for a bit of karaoke!
Off to Odawara! We'll take a cable car for scenic views, enjoy a cruise, then check in and explore the area.
We're up early today to visit the famous Fushimi-Inari Shrine before the crowds. After we’ll visit Gion and experience a traditional tea ceremony.
Today we head to Kyoto! First up: the stunning Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, followed by a visit to Gion and a traditional tea ceremony, followed by the stunning Golden Temple. In the afternoon, we’ll suit up for a Samurai class, an epic experience!
Today we head into the mountains to Koyasan, known for its many temples. In the afternoon, we’ll visit Japan’s oldest cemetery on a walking tour and dive into its fascinating history (D)
We’re off to Osaka by bullet train—500km in no time! After visiting Osaka Castle, we’ll have some free time before exploring the lively Dotonbori area tonight. (B)
This morning we travel to Hiroshima. We'll start with an orientation walk through key historical spots, then head downtown to explore the city.
This morning we'll visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum to learn about the city’s past. The afternoon is free to explore, relax in a park, or check out local shops.
Back to Osaka! We'll take a sushi-making class before lunch, then spend the afternoon sightseeing. Tonight, we’ll enjoy one final group meal—emotions incoming! (L)
And just like that, our trip has come to and end! Whether you're heading home or continuing your journey, your Tru Leader will help you with next steps. See you next time!
