Japan World Heritage

Japan World Heritage takes advantage of the country’s rich culture, as well as its fusion of modern and traditional. The craftsmanship and skills of the locals is evident in the beautiful gardens, shrines, and temples you will see throughout the country. As you visit a number of UNESCO World Heritage Listed sites, you will travel via train and even cable car! Stay in comfortable accommodation, and enjoy the benefits of a semi-independent tour that allows you to learn from your professional guides whilst also giving you plenty of freedom to explore independently.

*Please note that this tour is quite independent, travellers will often need to make their own way to and from departure points, and will also spend days exploring on their own.
