Memphis Tours
Japan doesn't announce itself. It arrives in pieces: a Kyoto temple in the quiet before dawn, a bullet train tearing open the countryside, Mount Fuji breaking through cloud above Chureito Pagoda. The Essence of Japan Guided Tours 2026 is a 9-day small-group journey built around those moments — the real Japan, met up close rather than observed from a coach window.
Five destinations, five different Japans: Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Matsumoto, Nagoya and Kyoto. You'll walk the preserved Edo-period post towns of the Nakasendo, stand beneath the black keep of Matsumoto Castle, lose an evening in Kyoto's Gion lantern light, and reach Sensoji Temple while the city is still waking.
