10-Day Japan Private Tour: Osaka to Tokyo with Hiroshima, Kyoto, Hakone & Mount Fuji
Select participants and date
You arrive in Osaka under a low winter sky or a humid summer haze; the city’s neon signs pulse like a living map and your private driver greets you at the arrivals hall. That first private transfer—quiet, efficient, and practiced—sets the tone for ten days that move at Japan’s measured pace: fast on the Shinkansen, deliberate at shrines, and attentive to the small, exacting gestures that define local hospitality.

Adventure Tips
Pack a small daypack
You’ll move between hotels and sites frequently—keep essentials (water, camera, passport copy, light layer) easily accessible.
Carry cash
Many street vendors, shrine shops and small restaurants accept only yen—ATMs in convenience stores are reliable.
Book clear-weather mornings for Fuji
Visibility is often best at sunrise; plan your Hakone/Kawaguchiko legs early and ask the guide to prioritize clear-day windows.
Use luggage forwarding
Consider takkyubin (luggage forwarding) between cities to travel light on trains and ferry connections.
