Japan is an East Asian island nation renowned for its seamless blend of ancient tradition and cutting-edge modernity. Travellers flock to Tokyo for its electric city energy, world-class food scene, and neighbourhoods ranging from the neon-lit streets of Shinjuku to the historic temples of Asakusa. Beyond the capital, iconic landmarks like Mount Fuji, the serene geisha districts and bamboo groves of Kyoto, the free-roaming deer of Nara, and the vibrant street food culture of Osaka make Japan one of the most diverse and rewarding destinations in the world. It's a country that draws independent explorers and group travellers alike, offering everything from mountain hikes and bullet train journeys to ancient shrines and modern pop culture.

7-Day Japan Golden Route: Self-Launched Tokyo to Osaka

A self-launched version of UME Travel's 7-day Tokyo-to-Osaka "Golden Route" small group tour. You'll hit the same headline sights — Senso-ji, Shibuya, Mt Fuji from Arakurayama Sengen Park, Lake Kawaguchi, Kinkaku-ji, Nijo Castle, Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizu-dera, Nara's Todai-ji and Osaka's Dotonbori — but travel on your own schedule using Japan's unbeatable public transport (metro, highway buses, the Shinkansen) and stay in well-located hostels and budget guesthouses. No guide, no coach, no group — just you, a Suica card and the same postcard views for roughly a third of the package price. Costs are approximate backpacker rates in GBP; self-guided (unaccompanied) and flexible to your dates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Japan (Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
