Juniper is a fully-private, custom travel agency — but once in a while we host a small group on a route we love. This is one of them: eleven unhurried nights from Tokyo to the temples of Kyoto, the food of Osaka and a hot-spring ryokan near Mt Fuji, all fully guided. The two departures follow the same route — only the season, and one day in Kyoto tuned to match it, differ.
Named hotels or a comparable alternative, subject to availability. Every room can be booked for single or double occupancy.
Autumn may be Japan at its most comfortable — crisp, clear days, thinner crowds, and hillsides that turn from green to gold to deep crimson. The momiji maples set temple gardens and mountain valleys alight, and the light turns everything to amber.
This departure is timed to travel with the color — including a walk through Arashiyama's maple-lined Sagano Nature Trail, one of the loveliest ways to take in the season.
Dates and pricing aren’t public yet — we’re building the list of interested travelers first. Add your name and a Juniper Japan specialist will reach out as the autumn departure takes shape. No dates, deposit or payment required to register.
