Flying times are approximate and routings change by season — we confirm the exact itinerary when we quote.

Japan's capital for more than a thousand years, and the city the country still measures itself against. Seventeen UNESCO sites, a grid of low machiya townhouses, and a discipline about season and light that governs everything from the food to the garden gravel.
