Explore Japan: Highspeed rails and Zen temples

Ready to discover Japan’s striking contrasts? Kick off your multi-stop trip in Tokyo – flashy, colourful and utterly electrifying. Between pop culture, temples and trendy neighbourhoods, this megacity simply never stops. Then hop aboard the Shinkansen and zoom over to Nagano, where it's all crisp mountain air, peaceful vibes and monkeys chillin' in the hot springs at Snow Monkey Park. In Toyama, you're in for modern architecture and laid-back urban energy, and in Kanazawa, ancient samurai alleyways and ornate gardens are just waiting to be explored. Then it’s on to Eiheiji Temple. Embrace silence, mindfulness and your connection with nature as you immerse yourself in the world of Zen. And for the grand finale: Osaka. From street food as far as the eye can see to bright neon lights and free-roaming deer in Nara Park, you're bound to be amazed. So what are you waiting for? Grab your bags and off you go!
