Day 3 Tokyo - Lake Kawaguchiko - Matsumoto

After breakfast, drive to Lake Kawaguchiko, in nearby Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, to admire the scenery as you enjoy a short cruise across the lake. The waters are overlooked by surrounding mountains, including Mount Fuji. On a still, clear day, you can see a perfect mirror image of Mount Fuji reflected in the lake.

Afterwards, continue onwards to Matsumoto and step back in time on a guided tour of Matsumoto Castle, one of Japan's premier historic castles, dating back to the early 16th century. Originally known as Fukashi Castle, its fortifications were first established around 1504 during the tumultuous Warring States period.

The impressive five-tiered, six-story keep stands today, earning it the nickname 'Crow Castle' for its striking black exterior. The castle was largely constructed in the late 16th century, around 1594, making it one of Japan's oldest surviving original castle keeps. Ascend to the top floor for panoramic views of the surrounding city and the majestic Japanese Alps.

Matsumoto is a charming city nestled in the Nagano Prefecture of Japan, surrounded by the breathtaking Japanese Alps. The city's history dates back centuries, with the castle's origins in the early 16th century.

Afterwards, check into your hotel for an evening at leisure.

Today you will travel approximately 250 kilometres.

Afterwards, visit Takayama Old Town and walk along Sanmachi Street, which survives in a particularly pretty state with many old homes, shops and restaurants. Takayama was once a bustling hub drawing expert artisans, farmers and merchants from throughout the surrounding area, and Sanmachi as well as Oshinmachi preserve the traditional aesthetic of this time. Enter this district, and you step into the closest thing to the Edo period outside of a historical drama.

Finish the day in Gifu, where you will check into your hotel and enjoy an evening at leisure.

Day 5 Gifu - Toyota Commemorative Museum - Shizuoka

It showcases the company’s evolution from a textile machinery manufacturer into a global automotive giant, featuring exhibits on weaving, robotics and car assembly.

Afterwards, continue to Shizuoka and check into your hotel accommodation for an evening at leisure.

Shizuoka served as the historic seat of power and retirement home for Tokugawa Ieyasu, the great unifier who established the Tokugawa Shogunate. Although the city’s historic centre suffered extensive destruction from air raids during World War II, it successfully rebuilt itself while honouring its deep-rooted samurai legacy. Today, Shizuoka is celebrated as Japan’s premier capital for green tea production, offering breathtaking, iconic views of nearby Mount Fuji and the reconstructed ramparts of Sunpu Castle.

Today's travel is approximately 220 kilometres.

Overnight: Hotel MyStay Shimizu or similar, Shizuoka Region

Meals included: Breakfast

Day 6 Shizuoka - Hakone - Yokohama

Today, enjoy a sightseeing tour of Hakone on your way to Yokohama.

Hakone is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, less than 100 kilometres from Tokyo. Famous for hot springs, natural beauty, and the views across Lake Ashinoko (also known as Lake Ashi) of nearby Mount Fuji, Hakone is one of the most popular destinations for those looking for a break from the busy city of Tokyo.

First stop in Hakone is the viewpoint and area around Owakudani Crater, created during the last eruption of Mount Hakone some 3,000 years ago. View the steaming sulphurous fumes, hot springs and hot rivers in this active volcanic zone. Eggs cooked in Owakudani's hot spring pools with their shells blackened by the sulphur are on sale at shops in the area. If you are interested, eating one is said to prolong one's life by 7 years. Additionally, Owakudani has good views of Mount Fuji on clear days.

Afterwards, visit the Hakone Open Air Museum. Located in the mountains of Hakone, the museum spreads across 70,000 square meters and has beautiful views that vary from season to season of the surrounding mountains. Opened in 1969, it was the first outdoor gallery in Japan. The defining feature of the Hakone Open Air Museum is the vast array of 120 sculptures spread across the grounds. Including works by sculptors from both Japan and overseas, the many sculptures of this museum invite you to get up close to appreciate what each piece is trying to convey.

After leaving Hakone, continue onwards to Yokohama and check into your hotel accommodation for an evening at leisure.

Yokohama transformed rapidly from a quiet fishing village into Japan’s first major port opened to international trade following the end of feudal isolation in 1859. Despite facing near-total devastation twice, first by the catastrophic 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake and later by severe World War II air raids, the city repeatedly rose from the ashes. Today, Yokohama thrives as Japan’s second-largest metropolis, renowned for its vibrant, historic Chinatown, Western-influenced architecture, and the futuristic Minato Mirai waterfront skyline.

Gratuities / tipping

Land
While Japan does not have a tipping culture for most services, the travel industry works a little differently and there is still an expectation of tipping on these tours. While tipping is not mandatory, it is common practice and a gesture of appreciation which is shared amongst the local guides, drivers and other staff members who have serviced your tour. The expected tip is $10 per person per day, paid in local currency where touring and/or transfer services are provided. Please factor this into your holiday budget, as we know this is going to be an amazing adventure!

Cruise
Gratuities (tips) are included for the cruise staff's services throughout this tour's cruise component. Some optional purchases on board, such as spa services and specialty dining may incur additional service charges. If you have any questions regarding the gratuities on your cruise, please speak to the guest services staff onboard the ship.

Other important information

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide: 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader: 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

FLIGHTS
Seat Selection & Frequent Flyer Points:
We do not arrange seat selection. It is essential to highlight that some airlines do not allow pre-selected seats. We strongly suggest you contact the airline directly with seating allocation requirements and/or arrive at the airport earlier to arrange your seating. While we do not add frequent flyer member details to bookings, you can do this directly with the airline once you have your flight information.

Dietary Requests
Meal options and availability differ between airlines and routes therefore not all dietary requests can be accommodated. If your flight includes meals we will select the most suitable option available based on the dietary requirements you have specified. All meal requests are subject to airline approval and are not guaranteed, therefore we recommend preparing for your flight by bringing appropriate food for yourself, as required. 

Passport Validity:
Customers must provide valid passport details either at the time of purchase or no later than 90 days before the departure date. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the booking. Customers will be responsible for any costs and fees incurred in this instance.

OTHER
Mobility:

Fitness Level Required:
Adventure (and spontaneity) create some of the best travel memories. Bear in mind, your home schedules and timings might not be adhered to on tour - it's all part of the fun!

A relaxed level of fitness will be required. Expect a comfortable pace of touring with a focus on leisure time and gentle activity. This may include city tours, the ability to walk up and down small flights of stairs and gentle slopes. You will be responsible for your own luggage and have the ability to board all modes of transport without assistance.

Please note: It is expected that every traveller must be self-reliant and able to undertake all aspects of their own travel. Please speak to your booking agent about your personal circumstances and any assistance requirements to ensure this tour is right for you.
Please note: If you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider prior to purchase/travel.

Sightseeing:
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).

Wildlife sighting:
TripADeal cannot guarantee animal sightings on tour. Wildlife are unpredictable and factors such as weather conditions, predatory fear and animal movements can impact sightings. 

Shopping: 
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts. 
Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding shopping for further information.

Visas

Japan
A tourist visa is not required for Australian or New Zealand citizens visiting Japan for stays of up to 90 days for tourism, business, visiting friends or relatives, etc. that does not include remunerative activities.

We recommend you to use the Visit Japan Web to pre-register your details before arrival. Visit Japan Web is a web service to help smooth arrival procedure at the airport in Japan. You can register your information for Immigration and Customs procedures ahead of your trip, including the disembarkation card for visa exemption (for eligible travellers such as Australians). Once you have registered, you can use the QR codes from the service instead of paper forms as part of the procedures to enter Japan.

South Korea
Australian passport holders can visit South Korea as tourists for stays of up to 90 days without applying for a K-ETA (or visa waiver) until 31 December 2026. Previously approved K-ETA applications will remain valid up to the granted expiry date. Australian passport holders travelling from 1 January 2027 may be required to apply for a K-ETA. Visit the official K-ETA website for more information.

Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Travel insurance 

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking. Whether it’s a potential medical emergency, a flight cancellation, a delayed suitcase, or an unforeseen event, it's important to ensure you're adequately protected.
