Stay at: Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama (Quad Room with breakfast)
Begin your holiday right on the doorstep of Tokyo Disney Resort. The Grand Nikko Tokyo Bay Maihama is an Official Hotel of Tokyo Disney Resort, with a complimentary shuttle to the Disney Resort Line monorail for easy access to both parks. Its soaring glass-roofed atrium is one of the largest in Japan, and rooms come with balconies looking out over the parks or Tokyo Bay. With breakfast included each morning and central Tokyo just a short train ride away, it’s the perfect base for Disney days and city exploring alike – from the neon of Shibuya and Shinjuku to the historic temples of Asakusa.
Experience both of Tokyo’s world-famous Disney parks. Spend one day at Tokyo Disneyland enjoying classic attractions, beloved characters and dazzling parades, then head to Tokyo DisneySea – a park found nowhere else in the world – with its beautifully themed ports, thrilling rides and spectacular entertainment. Two magical days the whole family will never forget.
Travel from Tokyo to Kyoto aboard Japan’s famous high-speed bullet train. Sit back as cities give way to countryside and, on a clear day, look out for spectacular views of Mount Fuji from your window – a highlight of any Japan holiday.
Stay at: THE BLOSSOM KYOTO (Quad Room)
Your holiday continues in Kyoto, Japan’s cultural heart and a world away from the bright lights of Tokyo. THE BLOSSOM KYOTO is a stylish, modern hotel just one subway stop from Kyoto Station, making it easy to explore the city. After a day of sightseeing, unwind in the hotel’s large Japanese-style public bath, then relax in the guest lounge with complimentary drinks and snacks.
From here, discover iconic sights such as the thousands of red torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine, the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove and the shimmering Golden Pavilion of Kinkaku-ji, or wander the historic streets of Gion, famous for its traditional wooden tea houses and geisha.
Whilst in Kyoto, why not enjoy a day trip to Osaka. The train from Kyoto to Osaka can take between 28 mintues and 1 hour (depending on which line to take). Osaka is known as "Japan's Kitchen" capital so be sure to try the traditional dishes like Okonomiyaki (Osaka-Style Savory Pancake), Takoyaki (Grilled Octopus) and Osaka Udon (Kitsune Udon). There is also plenty of sightseeing to do like visiting Osaka Castle or spending the day at Universal Studios Japan!
Join a guided half-day tour from Kyoto to Nara, Japan’s first permanent capital. Meet the friendly bowing deer that roam freely through Nara Park, marvel at the giant bronze Buddha inside Todai-ji Temple, and explore one of the most historic corners of Japan. Lunch is included, making this an easy and memorable day out for the whole family.
Begin with a Direct Flight to Oahu, Hawaii. Swap temples for tropical beaches as you take a direct flight across the Pacific from Kansai International Airport to Honolulu, Oahu - the perfect way to finish your adventure.
Set on 22 acres of tropical gardens on the widest stretch of Waikiki Beach, the Hilton Hawaiian Village is a resort the whole family will love. Choose from five swimming pools – including a kids’ pool and a pool with water slides - try snorkelling or paddle-boarding in the saltwater lagoon, or simply relax on the beach. Join in hula lessons and lei making, and don’t miss the resort’s Friday night fireworks over the beach.
Beyond the resort, Oahu is yours to explore – hike to the top of Diamond Head for incredible views, visit historic Pearl Harbor, snorkel at Hanauma Bay or head to the legendary surf beaches of the North Shore.
