Japan 8 Tage Tokyo to Osaka: Neon-lit Cities & Tranquil Countryside Erlebnisrundreise Adventure-Trip in internationaler Gruppe

Japan’s cities are world-class and its countryside is highly underrated – and this trip proves both. Tokyo, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, and Osaka all deliver in their own spectacular way, with Miyajima’s floating torii gate thrown in for good measure. Then a night in a traditional farmhouse with locals reveals a side of Japan most travellers never find. The cities deliver. The countryside steals it.

• Ride the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kanazawa and wander its preserved Edo-period streets

• Hike through the atmospheric Arashiyama Bamboo Grove on the outskirts of Kyoto

• Cross to Miyajima Island and photograph the torii gate rising from the sea

• Visit Hiroshima Peace Park – a deeply moving chapter in Japan’s modern history

• Swap city life for a night in a traditional rural farmhouse with a local family
