Overview
Japan offers the energy of cities, the quiet of gardens and the character of a traditional inn. Your property choices can connect those settings into a rail-based journey, with different atmospheres at each stop.
A city room with a useful location, a small Kyoto house or a mountain stay each changes the experience. Tell us your interests and everyday comfort preferences so the route and accommodation work together.
