Neon Tokyo, Mount Fuji views and hot-spring ryokan, Kyoto’s temples and geisha lanes, and Osaka’s street food — a tailor-made 10-day route from the UK, day by day, planned and protected by One World Travels & Tours.
Ten days is the sweet spot for a first Japan trip: the energy of Tokyo, a night in a Mount Fuji hot-spring ryokan, and the temples and traditions of Kyoto, Nara and Osaka. Below is our most-loved 10-day Japan itinerary from the UK. It is a template, not a fixed package: One World Travels & Tours UK (part of OWT Group Ltd) tailors every day, hotel, ryokan and rail booking to your budget, dates and pace, and every trip is financially protected.
Land and transfer to your hotel in the heart of Tokyo. An easy first evening — ramen and the neon of Shinjuku. Flights and transfer arranged.
Senso-ji temple in Asakusa, the Shibuya crossing, and the views from a skyscraper observatory as the city lights up.
Choose your day: teamLab digital art, Harajuku fashion, a sushi breakfast, or a day trip to Nikko or Kamakura — we pre-book it.
Ride to Hakone for Mount Fuji views, the lake, and a night in a traditional ryokan with hot-spring onsen and kaiseki dinner.
Glide west on the shinkansen to Kyoto, then walk the thousand vermilion gates of Fushimi Inari at golden hour.
Arashiyama’s bamboo grove, the golden pavilion Kinkaku-ji, and Kyoto’s serene garden temples.
A tea ceremony, the geisha district of Gion, and Kiyomizu-dera’s hillside views. Optional kimono experience.
Meet the bowing deer of Nara Park and the giant Buddha of Todai-ji, one of the world’s largest wooden buildings.
Move to Osaka for the castle by day and the electric food streets of Dotonbori by night — takoyaki and okonomiyaki.
A final wander, then a transfer to the airport for your flight home — or extend to Hiroshima or the Japanese Alps.
This 10-day route is the classic first Japan trip — but it is yours to reshape. Time it for cherry blossom or autumn colour, add Hiroshima and Miyajima, upgrade to luxury ryokan, or add a theme-park day for the family. Tell us the trip in your head and we will build it.
