Japan’s highlights
A country of ancient cultural traditions, Japan is rich in remarkable places. Tokyo combines skyscrapers, temples and old lanes in surprising harmony. Kyoto, its spiritual heart, is known for thousands of temples, shrines, Zen gardens and historic pavilions. Nara’s Tōdai-ji temple and freely roaming deer offer a beautiful glimpse of classical Japan. Himeji is a superbly preserved masterpiece of feudal architecture. Hiroshima is an essential place of remembrance, with its Peace Memorial Park and deeply moving museum.
These stops form the foundations of a Japan itinerary, whether for a first visit or a deeper exploration.

We felt in safe hands from the start
The Caramage team, and Anne in particular, were wonderfully responsive. Their professionalism, warmth and willingness to listen put us at ease straight away. Everything felt effortless.
