Destinations

Tokyo, Japan

Start in Shinjuku and Shibuya for neon-lit streets and world-class ramen. Don't miss Senso-ji temple in Asakusa and a stroll through Harajuku. Tokyo's convenience stores alone are a culinary adventure worth exploring.
Hakone, Japan

A perfect escape from Tokyo with stunning views of Mount Fuji on clear days. Ride the ropeway over volcanic Owakudani and soak in an onsen ryokan for an authentic Japanese inn experience. The Hakone Open-Air Museum is a surprisingly wonderful art stop.
Kyoto, Japan

Japan's cultural heart with over 1,600 Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. Walk the iconic Fushimi Inari torii gates at dawn and explore the geisha district of Gion in the evening. Try kaiseki cuisine and matcha sweets in the Higashiyama neighborhood.
Osaka, Japan

Japan's street food capital — don't leave without trying takoyaki and okonomiyaki in Dotonbori. Osaka Castle and the Shinsekai retro district are must-sees. The city has an infectious energy and locals are famously friendly and fun.
