Tours to Japan from Almaty — an immersion into a unique culture where ancient samurai traditions coexist organically with the technologies of the future. Japan offers travelers unforgettable experiences: majestic temples, blossoming sakura, impeccable service, and a cuisine recognized by UNESCO as world heritage.
Why choose Japan
- Unique culture — tea ceremonies, rock gardens, the arts of ikebana and calligraphy — Japan offers a cultural experience found nowhere else in the world.
- Blend of tradition and technology — in a single day you can visit a medieval temple in Kyoto and ride the Shinkansen high-speed train at 320 km/h to ultra-modern Tokyo.
- Impeccable cuisine — sushi, ramen, tempura, wagyu steak — Japanese cuisine is on the UNESCO Intangible Heritage list, and Tokyo is the city with the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world.
- Natural variety — from the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji to the tropical beaches of Okinawa, from onsen hot springs to the bamboo groves of Arashiyama — Japan's nature stuns with its variety.
- Absolute safety — Japan consistently ranks among the top three safest countries in the world, and the level of service and politeness of locals make travel maximally comfortable.
Popular Japanese cities
Tokyo
The capital of Japan and the largest megacity in the world, where guests are met with a whirlwind of impressions. The neon districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya, the Imperial Palace, the Tsukiji fish market, the electronics district of Akihabara, and the observation deck on Tokyo Skytree — a week is not enough to explore Tokyo. Here everyone will find entertainment to their taste — from anime cafes to classic Japanese gardens.
Kyoto
The ancient capital of Japan, home to over two thousand temples and shrines. The Golden Pavilion Kinkaku-ji, the torii gates of Fushimi Inari, the Arashiyama bamboo grove, and the Gion geisha quarter — Kyoto allows you to touch authentic Japanese culture. In spring the city is drowning in sakura blossoms, and in autumn — in the crimson colors of maple leaves.
Osaka
The gastronomic capital of Japan, known for its cheerful character and street food. Osaka Castle, the bright Dotonbori district with giant signs, and the Kaiyukan aquarium — the city is ideal for those who want to combine sightseeing with culinary discoveries. It's convenient to reach with a connection through Seoul or Beijing.
Okinawa
A tropical archipelago in southern Japan offering a completely different format of holiday. Turquoise sea, coral reefs, snow-white beaches, and the distinctive Ryukyu culture — Okinawa is suitable for those who dream of combining a beach holiday with Japanese flavor. One of the world's largest aquariums — Churaumi — is also located here.
When to go
The best time for a trip to Japan is spring (late March to May) and autumn (October to November). In spring you'll catch the legendary sakura blossom at a comfortable +15...+22 °C, and in autumn you can enjoy momiji — the scarlet Japanese maples. Summer (June to August) is hot and humid, with the rainy season in June. In winter, head to Okinawa, where even in January the temperature doesn't drop below +16 °C, or visit the ski resorts of Hokkaido with their legendary "powder" snow.
