Discover Japan's colourful cities and historic sights before all-inclusive beach bliss in the Maldives - includes all travel and excursions

Day 1: Overnight flight from UK

Arrive at your departure airport, ready for your overnight flight to Tokyo. Prepare for an unforgettable journey across Japan, exploring its natural wonders and ancient traditions.

Day 2: Tokyo

Touch down in Tokyo, a heady metropolis bursting with culture. Transfer to your hotel, then start exploring this incredible city - why not start with a visit to one of the many food markets?

Day 3: Tokyo

Today you'll enjoy a full-day city tour, starting from the famous Shinjuku Love Statue. You'll drive past the Harajuku shopping district and visit the Meiji Jingu Shinto Shrine. See the Imperial Palace and the historic neighbourhood of Asakusa, home to the Senso-ji Temple Kaminari-mon Gate and the Nakamise shopping avenue. Enjoy a matcha tasting experience and a Japanese lunch at a local Izakaya restaurant, all before climbing the Tokyo Skytree tower, from which you can admire the Tokyo skyline. In the afternoon, head on a river cruise through Tokyo Bay to Odaiba Island, ending the tour back at Shinjuku.

Day 4: Tokyo (Mount Fuji)

Embark on an unforgettable excursion that will have you coming face-to-face with legendary Mount Fuji. Head up to the Fuji's 5th Station and be amazed by the breathtaking views from above the clouds. Stroll around the area before stopping for lunch at the Oshino Shinobu ninja-themed village. Next up head to the volcanic Owaku-Dani Valley, also known as "Hell Valley", before riding the Hakone ropeway down to Lake Ashi, where you'll get a stunning view of Fuji's silhouette as you sail along the waters. (Meals: lunch)

Day 5: Tokyo

Enjoy a day exploring Tokyo at your own pace, getting to know the shopping districts of Akihabara, known for its anime culture and camera bargains, or Shibuya, where you can see its iconic crosswalk and eclectic restaurants.

Day 6: Tokyo - Kyoto

Use your Japan Rail Pass to ride the bullet train to Kyoto, the capital of the Japanese Empire for 11 centuries. The trip takes around 2 hours and 15 minutes, with the train reaching speeds of 300 kilometres per hour. Upon arrival, start exploring at your own pace - perhaps delving into geisha-culture with a visit to Pontocho.

Day 7: Kyoto

Set off on a full-day tour bus to discover the highlights of the cultural capital of Kyoto. This exciting excursion will have you visiting the most important of many shrines, Fushimi Inari, known for its emblematic red ‘gates’. Then you'll visit the Kiyomizu-Dera Temple, part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage site, Kinkakuji Temple, known as the temple of the Golden Pavilion, and finally the immense natural beauty of the Arashiyama bamboo forest. (Meals: lunch)

Day 8: Kyoto

Spend today at leisure. Why not opt to explore two UNESCO World Heritage sites in Nara by taking the Kintetsu Express train? You'll encounter wild deer up close while walking through Nara Park - which is a rarity in Japan - and see one of the world's largest wooden temples, Todai-Ji Temple.

Day 9: Kyoto - Osaka

Grit and glamour combine in Japan’s third largest city, Osaka. After using your Japan Rail Pass to arrive, grab some lunch at the local Kuromon market, before heading to the Floating Garden Observatory in the Umeda Sky building - panoramic views are abound here.

Day 10: Osaka

Take your next day at a leisurely pace and explore the city with a self-guided tour. Alternatively, use your admission ticket to squeeze in a visit to one of Japan's most famous landmarks, Osaka Castle, which embodies traditional Japanese architecture.

Day 11: Osaka

Spend one more day exploring the city at your own pace. You could opt to visit the UNESCO Himeji Castle, a truly magnificent hilltop castle that's bound to impress with its white façade and fascinating interiors.

Day 12: Osaka - Malé (night on board)

Today, use your Limousine bus ticket to transfer to Osaka Airport, where you'll catch an overnight flight to Malé - the capital of the Maldives.

Day 13: Maldives

Touch down in Malé and transfer to your all-inclusive resort to check in. Spend the rest of the day at leisure; unwind with a massage by the beach or snorkel in the crystal clear waters. (Meals: all-inclusive)

Days 14-17: Maldives

Spend the next few days at your own pace, relaxing amidst the postcard-perfect Maldives. White sands, turquoise waters, swaying palms and all-inclusive basis will leave you wanting for nothing.
