YOUR DAYS, AT YOUR PACE

Day-wise itinerary

DAY 1

Suggested overnight base: Tokyo

DAY 2

Asakusa & Tokyo neighbourhoods

Use Tokyo as your base and make Asakusa the main focus. Pair it with Shibuya only if opening times, weather and local travel make the combination practical. Keep a break between visits, and confirm guide, ticket and pickup arrangements in the quote.

Suggested overnight base: Tokyo

DAY 3

Shibuya & Tokyo neighbourhoods

Use Tokyo as your base and make Shibuya the main focus. Pair it with Meiji Shrine only if opening times, weather and local travel make the combination practical. Keep a break between visits, and confirm guide, ticket and pickup arrangements in the quote.

Suggested overnight base: Tokyo

DAY 4

Travel to Kyoto

Move to Kyoto and allow the transfer to be the main commitment of the day. The route may require rail, road, boat or an internal flight; ask Glider to confirm the method and departure timings before fixing sightseeing. After check-in, choose a short local walk or Kiyomizu-dera if time allows.

Suggested overnight base: Kyoto

DAY 5

Fushimi Inari & Kyoto neighbourhoods

Use Kyoto as your base and make Fushimi Inari the main focus. Pair it with Arashiyama only if opening times, weather and local travel make the combination practical. Keep a break between visits, and confirm guide, ticket and pickup arrangements in the quote.

Suggested overnight base: Kyoto

DAY 6

Departure from Kyoto
