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 (5 reviews)
4.8/5
Frances was always helpful and came up with great suggestions whilst filling in the brief we wanted. The hotels were spot on and all the booked tours and guides were fun and informative, and the concierge was always there to help us. Highlights included Takayama and Hiroshima but everything was really amazing - Japan is like no other country. The whole of the Original Team were outstanding, thank you for making it a very memorable and enjoyable holiday.
