What
Railbookers has debuted new independent train vacations in Japan. The three itineraries visit destinations including Tokyo, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Matsumoto, Hiroshima, Nara, Hakone and Takayama.

Why It Matters
It goes without saying that Japan continues to be a fast-growing travel destination. Clients will be happy to have a range of options when it comes to seeing the country up close, and Railbookers’ immersive itineraries present opportunities to not only discover Japan’s most iconic sites and attractions, but also its less explored outlying regions.

Fast Facts
- The new Golden Route of Japan itinerary is nine days long and visits the cities of Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Nara. Highlights include enjoying seeing views of Mt. Fuji in Hakone, the famous red torii gates at Fushimi Inari Shrine and more.

- The new Scenic Japan itinerary is 11 days long and visits the cities of Matsumoto, Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Takayama. Highlights include exploring Tokyo, learning how to make soba noodles by hand in Matsumoto and more.

- The new Best of Japan itinerary is 14 days long and visits the cities of Kanazawa, Takayama, Tokyo, Hakone, Nara, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Miyajima. Highlights include enjoying the hot springs and Mt. Fuji views in Hakone, touring the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima and more.

What They Are Saying
“Ask anyone who’s visited Japan, and they’ll tell you: It’s one of the most amazing places they’ve traveled to. And it’s not hard to see why,” says John Vavrina, Vice President of Sales. “Railbookers has the ability to move quickly and meet demand where it’s strongest. These new itineraries provide authentic, immersive experiences in the most-sought after cities in Japan, and our customization options give travelers a greater degree of flexibility for independent exploration.
