About this itinerary

Overview

Japan by van is an extraordinary experience. Over 12 days, this itinerary links Tokyo to Kyoto via the mountain roads of deep Japan: the Nikko shrine, Hakone's onsen at the foot of Fuji, and the ancient temples of Nara and Kyoto. A journey that alternates between ultra-modernity and timeless tradition.
