Comprehensive

Japan Grand Tour — Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima & Osaka

Q: Is the JR Pass included?

For itineraries that cover Tokyo + Kyoto + Hiroshima or further, yes — the 7-day Ordinary JR Pass is bundled. For Tokyo-Kyoto-only trips, single-leg Shinkansen tickets are cheaper post the Oct-2023 JR Pass price hike, so we book those instead.

Q: Vegetarian and Jain food?

Pure vegetarian is challenging in Japan because dashi (fish stock) is in many "vegetable" dishes. We curate vegetarian-friendly restaurants, recommend shojin-ryori (Buddhist temple cuisine) experiences, and pre-brief ryokan on dietary needs. Jain travellers — please flag at booking; we route to dedicated Indian restaurants for dinners.

Q: Will my Indian phone work?

Yes — but data roaming is expensive. We provide a Pocket Wi-Fi (router for the whole group) or a Japan-specific eSIM (Ubigi/Airalo) bundled into the package.

Q: Is the JR Pass really worth it for this trip?

Yes — Tokyo → Hakone → Kyoto → Hiroshima → Osaka totals ~¥58,000 in single Shinkansen tickets; the 7-day Ordinary Pass at ¥50,000 saves you the difference and covers all the local JR trains too. We activate it on Day 4 (Tokyo → Hakone) for full coverage through the trip.

Nine nights covering all four cities + Miyajima floating torii — built around the 7-day JR Pass for maximum value.

About this trip

The full Japan in nine nights — built around the JR Pass

Nine nights and four cities — the comprehensive Japan trip for travellers who want to see it all. The 7-day JR Pass (~¥50,000 per person) becomes good value at this length, covering all your Shinkansen between cities plus local JR lines for free. Days 1-3 Tokyo (Asakusa, Imperial Palace, Shibuya, Harajuku, optional Toyosu market). Day 4 Hakone for Mt Fuji and an onsen night. Days 5-7 Kyoto (Fushimi Inari, Arashiyama, Gion, tea ceremony, day-trip to Nara). Day 8 Hiroshima for the Atomic Bomb Dome + Peace Memorial Museum, with a Miyajima island half-day for the floating torii. Day 9 Osaka for Dotonbori food crawl, Osaka Castle, and a final-night okonomiyaki dinner. Return from Kansai (KIX).

Good to know

Questions, answered.

When should I book a Japan trip?

For cherry-blossom season (late March to mid April) and autumn leaves (mid November), book 4–6 months ahead — flights and ryokan rooms sell out further out than any other season. For other months, 60–90 days is fine.

Is the JR Pass included?

Vegetarian and Jain food?
