Putting together the itinerary for our ideal tailor-made holiday is something we travel experts at Alfred& absolutely love doing. Though not as much as going on the trip itself. But I hope you’ll feel the same way I do about this itinerary for two weeks exploring Japan.

On this trip, I want to get under the skin of Japan’s culture and traditions. My journey absorbs the varied pace of contemporary Japan: from the soft blooming of cherry blossom in the Kanazawa gardens, to the neon-hued high-adrenaline buzz of Tokyo, to the haunting stillness of Hiroshima.

So here’s my itinerary. I’m getting goose-pimples just thinking about it.
