Day By Day
Land in Tokyo, clear immigration, and head straight to your hotel with a private transfer. In the evening, teamLab Planets — Tokyo's digital art museum, and one booking worth making in advance, since it fills up fast. Expect mirrored floors, floating flowers, and installations built to be walked through, not just looked at.
A private full-day city tour covering the essentials: Tokyo Skytree, Tsukiji Fish Market, the Imperial Palace, Shibuya Crossing, Senso-ji Temple, Meiji Shrine, Odaiba's seaside gardens, and Nakamise shopping street. Tokyo Tower gets a photo stop on the way past. What a private transfer gives you is the freedom to explore at your pace. Like a place, stay. Don't like it, leave.
A private day out to Fuji's Kawaguchiko side — Lake Kawaguchiko, Oishi Park, Oshino Hakkai's spring-fed ponds, Arakurayama Sengen Park (the Chureito Pagoda view is the one you've seen in photos), Fuji's 5th Station, and time to shop at Gotemba Premium Outlets on the way back.
A full day at Tokyo DisneySea with a 1-day pass and private transfers both ways. This park runs on its own storytelling — Mysterious Island, the rides, the shows — and it's built to fill an entire day easily.
A private day trip north to Nikko, with an English-speaking driver. The Toshogu Shrine is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Japan's most elaborately decorated. Lunch is a local yuba (tofu skin) specialty, and the Kegon Falls round out the day. This one's flexible — the chauffeur can shift the plan around what your family wants to see most.
A day with nothing booked. Six nights in one city gives you room for this, and it's worth keeping — whether that means revisiting a neighbourhood, shopping, or simply resting before you move on.
Private transfer to the airport, a short flight to Sapporo (10:50 AM–12:35 PM), and a private transfer to your hotel on arrival. The rest of the day is yours.
A private day out from Sapporo to two of Hokkaido's best-known sights: Asahiyama Zoo, where the animals are closer and more active than most zoos allow, and the Blue Pond near Biei — a genuinely striking, almost unreal shade of turquoise, especially with the surrounding autumn colour in October.
Check out of Sapporo, fly to Osaka (11:50 AM–2:05 PM), and transfer privately to your Kyoto hotel. In the evening, a tea ceremony near Imamiya Shrine, in traditional kimono — a good first introduction to Kyoto's pace, with matcha, history, and photographs to keep.
A private full-day tour covering Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion), Nijo Castle, Nara Park — deer included — and Todai-ji Temple, home to one of Japan's largest bronze Buddha statues.
A private day trip on the Sagano scenic train to Arashiyama's bamboo grove, followed by Fushimi Inari Taisha and its thousands of red torii gates. Entrance tickets are included, so there's nothing to arrange on the day.
Private transfer from Kyoto to your Osaka hotel. In the evening, a guided tour of Osaka Castle — one of Japan's most recognisable landmarks, and worth the context a guide brings rather than just walking the grounds.
A full day at Universal Studios Osaka with a Studio Pass and private return transfers. Asia's first Universal park, and Japan's second-most visited after Tokyo Disney Resort — rides, shows, and characters to keep the whole family occupied.
An early train to Hiroshima (7:34 AM), followed by a full-day guided tour covering the Peace Memorial Park and the floating torii gate at Miyajima's Itsukushima Shrine — one of Japan's most photographed sights, and a meaningful one to see in person. Return train back to Osaka in the evening.
Private transfer to Osaka airport for your flight home.
