1. Mount Fuji: Japan’s Majestic Icon
No visit to Japan would be complete without a glimpse of the country’s most iconic natural wonder—Mount Fuji. This towering volcano, known for its perfectly symmetrical shape, has been a symbol of Japan for centuries. Whether you’re an avid hiker eager to reach the summit or simply want to admire its beauty from nearby lakes like Lake Kawaguchi, Mount Fuji is a must-see for any traveler.
At Fuji Vacations and Tours, we offer exclusive tours that allow you to experience the majesty of Mount Fuji up close. From guided hikes to scenic viewpoints, we ensure you capture the best of this natural wonder.
2. Kyoto: The Heart of Japan’s Ancient Culture
Step back in time as you wander through the streets of Kyoto, a city steeped in history and tradition. As Japan’s ancient capital, Kyoto is home to more than 1,000 temples and shrines, including the stunning Fushimi Inari Shrine with its thousands of vibrant red torii gates, and the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), a Zen temple coated in gold leaf.
With Fuji Vacations and Tours, you’ll experience the serene beauty of Kyoto’s gardens, explore traditional tea houses, and witness a geisha performance in the historic district of Gion.
3. Tokyo: The City of Lights and Innovation
For a complete change of pace, head to Tokyo, Japan’s bustling capital. Tokyo is a city where ancient shrines coexist with futuristic skyscrapers and where traditional crafts thrive in one of the world’s most technologically advanced metropolises.
Explore the famous Shibuya Crossing, shop in the trendy districts of Harajuku and Shinjuku, and visit historical landmarks like the Meiji Shrine. With Fuji Vacations and Tours, we’ll guide you through the city’s hidden gems, offering a blend of modern excitement and traditional charm.
4. Nara: Where History and Nature Meet
Just a short trip from Kyoto, Nara is another historic city that boasts an impressive array of temples, including Tōdai-ji, home to the world’s largest bronze statue of Buddha. Nara is also famous for its friendly wild deer that roam freely through Nara Park, offering a unique experience for visitors.
With Fuji Vacations and Tours, you can enjoy a peaceful day exploring Nara’s cultural landmarks and natural beauty, immersing yourself in the city’s tranquil atmosphere.
5. Hiroshima: A City of Peace and Reflection
A visit to Hiroshima is a deeply moving experience. The city, once devastated by the atomic bomb in 1945, has rebuilt itself into a symbol of peace and resilience. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Peace Memorial Museum serve as poignant reminders of the past while advocating for a peaceful future.
Our tours at Fuji Vacations and Tours include a visit to Hiroshima’s iconic landmarks, including the beautiful Itsukushima Shrine on nearby Miyajima Island, where the famous floating torii gate stands in the sea.
6. Onsen Experience: Relax in Japan’s Hot Springs
No trip to Japan is complete without experiencing an onsen (hot spring). Located in scenic areas like Hakone and Beppu, Japan’s natural hot springs provide a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Relax in outdoor baths surrounded by nature, while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of the mineral-rich waters.
Fuji Vacations and Tours offers exclusive onsen retreats, allowing you to unwind in some of the most beautiful and serene locations in Japan.
7. Japanese Cuisine: A Culinary Adventure
Japanese food is world-famous for its quality, variety, and creativity. From the freshest sushi in Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market to delicious bowls of ramen and comforting tempura, Japan’s cuisine is an experience in itself. Make sure to try kaiseki, a traditional multi-course meal that showcases seasonal ingredients prepared with the utmost precision.
With Fuji Vacations and Tours, we’ll guide you through Japan’s top culinary hotspots, offering exclusive food tours where you can taste authentic Japanese dishes.
