There's a lot to love about visiting Japan, but one of the greatest pleasures is train travel in Japan. The unbelievably fast (we're talking up-to-185-miles-per-hour-fast) and efficient (we're talking delays-are-measured-in-seconds-efficient) Shinkansen - or Bullet Trains - connect Japan's major cities in the blink of an eye, while equally well-organised local and regional trains connect the major hubs to some of the lesser-known, untouched towns and islands where time has stood still. This makes getting around this long, linear country a complete breeze. In fact, there should be little or no need to ever sit in a car on the entire trip,
so your time in Japan will also be extremely sustainable.

Japan customer reviews (4 reviews)
4.8/5
Our feedback in the initial phone call was clearly taken on board by Frances to create a great itinerary for us. All of the hotels were clean, comfortable and with wonderful staff. We really loved our three nights in Tenyu and wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you so much for recommending Hakone, it was just the downtime we needed. We really enjoyed our time there. Audrey and the rest of the in-country concierge team were very helpful getting into restaurants etc.
