Creator's Key Takeaways

Japan is so quirky, so different, so utterly brilliant.

This tour doesn't pause even for rain. It's a high-speed sampler of Japan. Exhausting, exhilarating, and quite frankly, brilliant.

Hiroshima was one of our favorite places on the cruise that we've just done.

This is something you simply must do when you visit Hiroshima.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid rush hour on Tokyo's public transport for a smoother experience.
Try Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki for a local culinary must-do.
Book a tour with Riviera Travel for a well-organized Japan experience.
