Save €1,900 pp on a Small-Group Bullet Train Tour Across Japan with Tropical Sky

Travellers looking for a once-in-a-lifetime cultural immersion in Japan can now save an incredible €1,900 per person on the Iconic Japan by Bullet Train Tour with Tropical Sky.

This 11-night journey through the Land of the Rising Sun offers a rich blend of iconic landmarks, historic towns, local experiences, and the thrill of travelling on Japan’s Shinkansen bullet trains, all within the intimacy of a small group of just 15 travellers.

Departing on 19 August 2025, the tour begins in Tokyo. Guests will wander the paths of the Meiji Shrine, experience the colour and clatter of Tsukiji Market, and explore Asakusa, home to Tokyo’s oldest temple, Sensō-ji.

From Tokyo, the journey slows as the group is transported back in time to Tsumago, a beautifully preserved Edo-period post town. Next is Kanazawa, a city celebrated for its samurai districts, geisha teahouses, and Kenroku-en, one of the most exquisite landscape gardens in the country.

In Hiroshima, the tour takes a turn with a visit to the Peace Memorial Park. A scenic ferry ride across Hiroshima Bay leads to Miyajima Island, famed for its floating torii gate at Itsukushima Shrine, one of Japan’s most iconic views.

The final leg of the tour takes guests to Kyoto, the country’s ancient capita. lHere, travellers will stroll through the vermilion tunnels of Fushimi Inari Shrine, see Kinkaku-ji (The Golden Pavilion), and discover the quiet beauty of temple gardens. The experience deepens with Zen meditation led by a local monk and an introduction to samurai sword techniques.

Beyond the sights, what sets this tour apart is its seamless travel experience. With a 7-day Japan Rail Pass included, the group will ride in comfort and style on the legendary Shinkansen bullet trains, reaching speeds of up to 320km/h. Accommodation includes 10 nights in carefully selected hotels and one unforgettable night in a traditional Japanese inn, offering a taste of the nation’s famed hospitality.
