Japan by Rail: Honshu Autumn Colours by Bullet Train

This exclusive, 17-day fully-escorted rail tour discovers the highlights of Japan’s main island, Honshu, at a much under-rated time of the year - Autumn, and invites you to experience the perfect harmony of ancient heritage, vibrant cities, serene nature, and unforgettable flavors - all seamlessly connected by Japan’s legendary high-speed rail network. You’ll ride the famous bullet trains, local trains, Tokyo Metro, scenic tourist and heritage trains through sprawling cities, mountains, valleys, and forests full of vibrant autumn colours, exploring modern Japan, samurai history, museums and unforgettable experiences like witnessing a 500 kph run past of Japan’s new Mag Lev test train, traditional paper making, and tickets to the grand national Sumo wrestling tournament in Fukuoka.
