You begin in Kyoto, staying among the temples and wooden streets of Higashiyama, with time to explore at a gentle pace.

A ride on the bullet train brings you to the Mount Fuji area for a day around its lakes, then you visit the coastal town of Kamakura and its Great Buddha before two days in Tokyo.
The physical rating is low. This holiday suits solo travellers who want Japan's classics in good company.
