Explore Tokyo at your own pace on this day.

For sightseeing, shopping, and cherry blossoms combined, visit the retro districts of Ueno, home to Ueno Park and Ameyoko Shopping Street, and Asakusa, where you’ll find the famous Sensoji Temple and Nakamise Shopping Street.

How about ending your evening with a dinner cruise on a traditional leisure boat called a yakatabune (available as an add-on)?

Start this day early, as you will be heading out to the Mt. Fuji area.

Meet your driver for your private transfer to the ryokan inn where you will spend the night. Along the way, you will stop at 1-2 scenic spots for viewing Mt. Fuji. In spring, you might even see the picture-perfect sight of Mt. Fuji framed by cherry blossoms.

You will also go up Mt. Fuji itself, specifically, its 5th Station, which can be accessed by car, no need for hiking! Upon arrival at your ryokan, look forward to your seasonal multi-course dinner, try bathing in communal hot-spring baths, and unwind for the rest of the night.

After check-out, take a bus and Shinkansen bullet train to your next destination: Kyoto, where you can soak up the vibes of old-world Japan.

As we will book your bus and Shinkansen according to your preferences, you can leave earlier to spend as much time in Kyoto as possible, or leave right around 10 am to reach Kyoto in the early afternoon.

If you will have enough time in the afternoon to spare, how about renting a kimono or booking a tea ceremony (both available as add-ons)? In the evening, you can also enjoy nighttime cherry blossom illuminations at selected locations.

Take a day trip to bustling Osaka, which is just 30 minutes away by rapid train from Kyoto.

Pick up some local history with a visit to Osaka Castle, shop as much as you like at the vibrant shopping streets of Namba and Shinsaibashi, and/or enjoy local nightlife and delicacies such as takoyaki and okonomiyaki at Dotonbori.

After your Osaka day trip, spend a bit more time in Kyoto on this day before taking the Shinkansen back to Tokyo. You can choose to spend most of your day in Kyoto, leave for Tokyo right after check-out, or split your day between Kyoto and Tokyo: just let us know which you prefer.

If you will be staying in Kyoto until evening, we suggest renting a kimono or booking a tea ceremony (both available as add-ons), if you haven’t already done so on Day 4.

Though your Japan adventure ends on this day, depending on the time of your flight, you may still have time to do some last-minute sightseeing.

We recommend strolling around a park or traditional garden to see cherry blossoms one last time before you go. Then, approximately 3 hours before your flight, head to Narita or Haneda Airport for your return flight, either via public transit or private transfer (available as an add-on).
