The group begins their month-long adventure in Osaka, where they will be immersed in Japanese culture from the very first day. Spend the following days exploring iconic sites such as Osaka Castle, the Umeda Sky Building, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, and the temples of Itsukushima Shrine. After discovering the city's wonders and enjoying a delightful Kushikatsu cooking class, travel to Kyoto to explore its temples and participate in a traditional Kimono tea ceremony. The journey concludes in Tokyo with a visit to Tokyo Disneyland, a Ninja Samurai experience, city tours, and a final dinner in Shinjuku, featuring traditional Japanese dancers.
