Two nights in Tokyo to land properly. A private train south to Atami, where the days are kaiseki, onsen, and a long quiet you stop apologizing for by Thursday. Then Kyoto, finally, for the temples — and the kind of meals and encounters most travelers never find.
What you’ll do.
- Private tea ceremony with a traditional tea master
- Omakase dining at exclusive sushi counters and hidden izakayas
- Stay in a traditional ryokan with kaiseki meals and onsen
- Street food tour through Osaka's Dotonbori district
- Early morning visit to Tsukiji Outer Market
- Temple-hopping in Kyoto with a cultural guide
- Sake tasting at a historic brewery
- Day trip to Nara to meet the sacred deer
