OUR JAPAN TRIP

Our tour of Japan is all booked. Flights, hotels and route are all determined.  The links on this blog page are to the places that we will be staying in each city. We will be landing at Narita, Tokyo Airport and then staying 5 nights in Tokyo, exploring the sights and sounds of the most populous city in the world. We will take a day trip to Kamakura to see the big Buddha. When we went to India several years ago, I had just finalized the last details of our itinerary when Cindy declared, “I want to see the big buddhas,” which were not to be found anywhere near our designated destination of Rajasthan. So this time, and a little belatedly, Cindy will get her wish. We then move on to Hakone from where we hope to get some better views of Mount Fuji while staying in a hotel where both John Lennon and Charlie Chaplin stayed (not together though). After Hakone, we take the bullet train to Kyoto where we will stay four nights with a side trip to the ancient capital of Nara. Next we wend our way to Mount Koya area. We will be staying in an ancient Buddhist temple complex for two nights in Koyasan. Next stop will be Kanazawa, an arts and crafts center. From there we will visit the quaint town of Takayama before returning to Tokyo to close out our trip.
