Honshû, a journey to the heart of Japanese art and architecture
9 Nights
A concierge is at your service:
Price of a local call

Crossing the island of Honshû, from the Seto Inland Sea to the Sea of Japan, is to discover not only captivating cities–fast-paced Osaka and traditional Kyoto–but also unexpectedly picturesque landscapes. This gentle journey captures the dramatic contrasts of the archipelago, from its megacities to traditional villages and buildings with thatched roofs. Yet, everywhere you go, you’ll witness attention being paid to the art of detail, from its shop windows to its stone gardens, the world of contemporary design and the finesse of its traditional Torii gates.

Yet strolling along the city's main thoroughfares opens the door to some incredible cultural contrasts, not least the historic castle that seems to resist the glass and concrete buildings of the business district. ...

Kanazawa, pearl of Ishikawa

Kanazawa

Known as the ‘little pearl of Ishikawa,’ Kanazawa first seduces visitors with its exceptional geographical location.
