Enjoy a week-long self-guided adventure through Japan’s three most iconic cities. You’ll have enough free time to explore each one at your own pace! Start in Tokyo, discovering neighborhoods like Shibuya. Then, hop on the bullet train to Kyoto to visit ancient temples and wander through Gion district. Finally, head to Osaka, Japan’s vibrant capital of cuisine and entertainment.
I taught English in Japan and used to live between Osaka and Kobe. After the main tour, I will host a 3-5 day extended tour where you can join me in my old stomping grounds of Nishinomiya to attend a Hanshin Tigers baseball game, Takarazuka where we can catch a show at the famous Takarazuka review, and Kobe - Seattle's sister city!

Extend your tour longer with a 3-night stay in Istanbul, Turkey’s most popular city. Istanbul is a central hub for intermingling cultures and legendary architecture. As the former capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, walk in the footsteps of centuries of travelers before you. From the towering Hagia Sophia to the lively Grand Bazaar and Spice Market, you’ll find an indescribable blend of nostalgia and modernity. Full of authentic flavors and legendary cultures, a trip to Turkey is not one you’ll soon forget. Or a post night?
