Morning light slants between glass towers as a private van eases away from a Tokyo hotel — a small group, a driver, and a guide whose pocket map is as worn as a pilgrim’s. The city peels back into neighborhoods — neon Akihabara trading its gadgets for the cedar hush of Meiji Shrine; the guide points out an Edo-era gate and then, an hour later, Mount Fuji appears like a quiet promise on the horizon. Over ten days the tour reads like a paced sampler of Japan: shrines and skyline, coastal towns and mountain lakes, hot-spring steam that scents the air in Hakone.
