- Kyoto City

- Takayama City（Gifu）
- Discover Kyoto City
Plan a stay in Japan’s former capital, a city that is host to more than 3,000 shrines and temples. With easy access from Tokyo city, Osaka city, Kansai International Airport, and more, Kyoto is a city that you will want to return to over and over again.
- Discover Kanazawa City
If you love fresh seafood, wandering the streets of ancient Japan, modern art, and the crisp seaside air, then Kanazawa city is a must visit. Kanazawa is a large and bustling city, but is still an ‘off the beaten path’ city where you can find many local, hidden gems.
- Discover Takayama City
A former castle town surrounded by the lush forests of the Japanese Alps. After exploring the busy, ultra-modern cities of Tokyo & Osaka with their neon-lit buildings, you’ll want to take a relaxing break in a city renowned for its traditional townscape & abundant nature.
