Description
Tokyo 4 nights
Kanazawa 3 nights
Kyoto 4 nights
Hakone 3 nights
✈️UK to Tokyo – 4 Nights. This fascinating itinerary starts in Tokyo, the dynamic capital of Japan where you’ll have four nights to delve into the city’s diverse areas including Shibuya with its iconic pedestrian crossing and the cultural treasures of Asakusa, home to the world-renowned Senso-Ji temple. Make sure you savour the bustling ambiance of Tsukiji Fish Market and if you’re a fan of Disney, head to Tokyo Disneyland, located just outside the city.
🚆Tokyo to Kanazawa – 3 Nights: From Tokyo, you’ll board the Shinkansen (bullet train) to the city of Kanazawa on the Sea of Japan coast. One of the main attractions of Kanazawa is its Kenrokuen Garden, considered one of Japan’s most immaculate and breath-taking traditional gardens where you can stroll through the meticulously landscaped ponds, bridges and seasonal flowers. Also, explore the preserved samurai district of Nagamachi where narrow streets are lined with traditional earthen walls, samurai residences, and wooden gateways. Nearly all of Japan’s gold leaf is made in Kanazawa and you’ll find it everywhere – whether it’s sprinkled on cakes and floating on coffees! You can also join a gold leaf workshop where you can learn how to apply the delicate metal sheets yourself.
🚆Kanazawa to Kyoto: You’ll continue your journey on the bullet train to Kyoto. Here you can explore ancient temples and shrines, including the iconic Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion) and Fushimi Inari Shrine with its famous torii gates. Stroll through the enchanting Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and experience a traditional tea ceremony.
🚆Hakone – 3 Nights: Your final destination will be Hakone, a picturesque town that is celebrated for its rejuvenating hot springs, or onsen, which are scattered throughout the region. These geothermal wonders are renowned for their therapeutic qualities, and the onsen experience often includes immersing yourself in an open-air bath, where you can relax amid lush greenery or in the beauty of snow-capped mountains during winter. Hakone also offers excellent vantage points for admiring Mount Fuji, for example taking a boat cruise across Lake Ashi, a blue lake formed 3000 years ago, where you can enjoy the picturesque landscapes and, on clear days, be treated to a wonderful view of Mount Fuji. Also take the Hakone Ropeway, a cable car which whisks you high above the region, for fantastic views.
✈️Hakone to UK: We’ll take you to the airport for your return flight home; with fabulous memories of the diverse places you’ve visited.

As always, Chris was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me good advice on my travel plans and booked the holiday on my behalf. I've used eshores a number of times, and will continue to do so.

We haven’t been on our trip yet but based purely on the experience of booking the trip we are pleased with the result. It started with a bit of a hiccup as we spoke to a member of staff who never came back to us but when we reached back out again we were placed in the hands of Andy who has helped us book a 2 week trip to India including the golden triangle and then a few days on the beach. Andy was very patient with us with our changes to our tailor made holiday, even when we asked him to explore different areas only to revert back to the original plan. He also recommended moving the holiday back one week which created a saving of over £700 which meant we could upgrade the room for our beach stay in Goa. Andy was also available on weekends if we wanted to speak and regularly picked up the phone as opposed to keeping it to purely email dialogue. Hopefully the holiday will be amazing but based on the booking experience I would recommend eShores if you’re looking to book a tailor made holiday

We have booked two big holidays this year for a group of 8 and a group of 10, Rachel has coordinated our holidays with the utmost excellence, during the consultation we changed countires hotels and even flights but it did not phase Rachel one bit. Exceeds customer expectations by helping advising and supporting throughout the holiday. We are off to Thailand and Dubai in August and then followed by India and Thailand in November, I have rang emailed Rachel many times during the booking and I got very prompt responses even on her days off. Rachel is a credit to EShores and EShores is setting standards regarding customer focus.

I can’t praise Lynette at EShores enough. She has organised my trips perfectly to the point that I wouldn’t use anyone else. She listens to what I want or to the problem I have and comes up with a solution. Nothing is too much trouble. Try them out yourselves and I bet you become a repeater too!
