The Golden Route showcases the best of Japan, combining the fascinating and disparate cities of Tokyo and Kyoto with the beautiful countryside of Hakone National Park near Mount Fuji. This flexible itinerary is ideal for the first time visitor.

Tokyo is a modern phenomenon. Beneath the famous space age aesthetics, crowded trains, and notoriously eccentric youth culture, the discerning visitor will be amazed to realize how much of the soul of this millennial city has remained intact. Despite its many facelifts, Tokyo has held on to its culture and traditions, and this melting pot of sights and smells is where you’ll start your Japan adventure.

Just a short bullet train ride but truly far from Tokyo is Hakone National Park, an outstanding example of the natural beauty that can be found in Japan. Famous for its bubbling volcanic hot springs, magnificent museums and panoramic views of Mount Fuji (weather permitting!), In Hakone you will follow in the footsteps of the first Shogun who rested his troops here in preparation for battle.

After being swept up the coast in the Shinkansen, you will glide towards Kyoto – a modern city that offers a tantalizing window into the past. Here you will find a glimpse into the historical majesty of Imperial Japan, in a city where exquisite gardens are hidden behind sliding doors and every corner hides unknown treasures.

With your Japan Rail Pass included, you will have the option of taking a day trip from Kyoto at no additional cost. The impressive Himeji Castle, the historic temples and deer park in Nara, and the World Heritage Site of the Byodoin Temple in Uji are just a few of the many possibilities.

Whether you’re traveling through the cherry blossoms of spring, lively summer festivals, dazzling fall colors, or crisp clear winter skies, the Golden Route is a journey to savor and has much to offer for every season.
