Japan: UNESCO World Heritage Tour

VISIT a staggering number of UNESCO World Heritage sites on this fascinating and insightful journey through Japan's unique cultural and natural heritage with Battered Suitcase. The tour offers unbeatable flexibility, as departures can be arranged for anywhere in the world.

Explore the landscape, geology and architecture of #Japan, a land laden with cultural gems, as you spend time travelling around historically significant UNESCO sites in Tokyo, Nikko, Takayama, Kyoto and Nara, zipping your way from place to place using Japan’s renowned world-class rail services.

Your immersive visit will include the famous “gassho-zukuri” farmhouses in Gifu, with their steeply pitched roofs constructed without nails like hands in prayer, and Nikko National Park’s UNESCO-listed Toshogu shrine complex. 

Along the way, you’ll also get the chance to marvel at the ornamental beauty of Nijo Castle, dating from 1603, in Kyoto, and pay your respects at the Peace Memorial Park, created at the site of ground zero of the atomic bomb dropped on the 6th August 1945, in Hiroshima.
