An Adventure in Japan
Japan is a destination like no other, where a vision of the future intermingles with traditions of the past. It's not uncommon to interact with a robot in a hotel lobby, before crossing the street and entering a 1,000 year old temple. While Tokyo & Kyoto will be the bedrock of any itinerary, we also recommend spending a couple of nights at a hot spring resort, where you can relax and experience the Japanese countryside.
May in Japan brings mild and pleasant weather, making it one of the best times to visit the country. Average temperatures range from 15°C to 24°C (59°F to 75°F), with the cherry blossoms typically in full bloom at the start of the month. It's a great time for outdoor activities and sightseeing, with plenty of sunshine and lower chances of rain compared to the following months of summer.
Upon arrival in Tokyo, an English-speaking assistant will greet you at the arrivals hall and escort you to your private transfer.
Note that from Narita airport it's about a 90 minute drive to the city center, and from Haneda it's about 30 minutes.
One of the world’s most cutting-edge capitals, Tokyo is a city of contrasts. Famous for its sprawling neon-lit landscape it is also home to expansive parkland, peaceful shrines and temples, and lovingly tended gardens. On the surface, Tokyo is a mix of digital trends and conspicuous consumption, but dig deeper and you will find a city rooted deeply in the traditional culture. Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples stand close to skyscrapers as a reminder of a more contemplative time.
