10-day Golden Route - Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka
A classic 10-day “Golden Route” loop starting and ending in Tokyo. Spend three nights exploring Tokyo’s mix of old and new neighborhoods, then detour to Hakone for Mt. Fuji views and an onsen ryokan stay. Continue to Kyoto for two nights of temples, historic streets, and day-trip options like Nara, then two nights in Osaka for street food, nightlife, and easy add-ons before returning to Tokyo for one night before departure.
