Arrive in Tokyo

Haneda or Narita airport to your hotel in Tokyo, welcome dinner

Fly into Tokyo Haneda (HND) or Narita (NRT); a driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you to the hotel, about 40 minutes from Haneda or an hour and a half from Narita.

Soir

Plan to land by mid-afternoon to make the evening briefing. The hotel is on the east side of the city, close to Ueno and Asakusa, because that is where the train to Nikko leaves from on day 3. If you arrive early, the streets around Asakusa and the shops of Ameya-Yokocho are an easy first walk. At about 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group, hands out IC cards for the metro and explains how the week works: early starts at the busiest gardens, free afternoons, and why your suitcase goes ahead to Kanazawa. Then we walk to a local izakaya for a welcome dinner of small shared plates.

Faune et météo : Late November is cool and mostly dry: Kyoto and Tokyo days are about 10 to 16°C with cold mornings, while Nikko and Takayama can be near freezing at night and may see early snow. The maples in Kyoto usually peak in the second half of the month, but a warm autumn can delay them into December.

Questions

Les prix indiqués dans ces réponses s'appliquent à compter du 1er janv. 2027. Offre du Vendredi fou : 15 % de rabais sur le prix en petit groupe pour les demandes reçues au plus tard le 1er déc. 2026. À partir de CAD 5,080 par personne. Du 2 déc. au 31 déc. : à partir de CAD 5,495. À compter du 1er janv. 2027 : à partir de CAD 5,975.

What does the price include?

Nine nights in central hotels and a Nikko ryokan, 9 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 4 dinners, airport transfers both ways, reserved train seats, a private vehicle from Kanazawa to Takayama, luggage forwarding from Tokyo, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, and every entry in the plan, including the Kodai-ji light-up, a sake tasting and matcha at Okochi Sanso.

Will the autumn leaves be at their peak?

In Kyoto, usually yes: its maples tend to peak in the second half of November, which is when our three Kyoto nights fall. The mountains turn earlier, so Nikko, Takayama and Shirakawa-go are often past their best by then. Peak dates move by a week or two each year, and no one can promise them.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests and is never combined with another departure. That keeps us quick through temple gates at opening time and lets everyone fit around one table at dinner.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from the Tokyo welcome dinner to the Kansai airport drop-off, handles every ticket and train change, and knows when each garden is quietest. We introduce your guide by name before you travel.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderately fit. Most days mean 4 to 6 hours on your feet, about 10 to 15 km, with stone steps at Nikko and Fushimi Inari and gravel paths in gardens. Every long walk has a shorter option, and you can rest at the hotel on any free afternoon.

I am travelling solo. What does a room of my own cost?

A room of your own is from CAD 1,180 more, shown before you book with no surprise later. Japanese single rooms are small, so we book a twin or double for single use where the hotel allows. Solo guests join every meal and activity on the same terms as everyone else.

Why so many early starts?

Late November is Kyoto's busiest season, and the famous gardens are calmest in their first hour. We are at Tofuku-ji, Eikan-do, Kenroku-en and Rikugien when they open and in the Arashiyama bamboo grove at 7 am, then leave the afternoons free so the days are not long.

What happens to my suitcase?

It is forwarded from Tokyo to your Kanazawa hotel, so you take only an overnight bag to Nikko. From Kanazawa it rides in our vehicle to Takayama, and on the train to Kyoto it travels with us in reserved seats, with your guide helping at the change in Nagoya.

Do I need a visa for Japan?

Canadian and US passport holders do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days. Other passports may; check before you book. Your passport must be valid for your whole stay, and Japan's departure tax is charged in your airline ticket.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose. If you would rather travel independently, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, trains and local guides for your own dates.

How does booking work?

Choose a departure and send a request to book. We confirm availability and your trip within 24 hours, and no payment is taken until then. The small group starts from CAD 5,975 per person sharing, taxes included; hotel names follow when we confirm your dates.
