Luxury gourmet tour in Japan

Japan has finally lifted the restrictions on entry into the country. There remains only the obligation to book the trip through an authorized operator. As an expert in Japan within the Mikrotour team, I have already prepared a series of itineraries to offer to customers, with different types of duration and price. Since in the travelcrafting blog we deal in particular with luxury travel, in this short article I present a culinary-themed trip with a stay in the renowned Aman Resorts. Just a few spaces remain to experience a decidedly unique gastronomic experience through Japan. Travel via helicopter and bullet train to the three Aman properties on this 9-night adventure from Tokyo to Shima to Kyoto from May 14 - 23, 2023

Here are the highlights of this incredible journey in brief:

• Stay at Aman Tokyo, Amanemu and Aman Kyoto. 
• Limited to 16 guests.
• Travel by bullet train and helicopter.
• Unique private dining experiences, including an exceptional private geisha dinner.
• Deep insight into Japan’s culinary world with experts and special guests.
• Special access to markets, vineyards, distilleries and breweries, including the off-limits areas of Toyosu Fish Market with a top sushi chef.

Itinerary:

1. Aman Tokyo

Tokyo’s modern splendor is best appreciated from the urban sanctuary of Aman Tokyo atop the shimmering Otemachi Tower. It’s the perfect base from which to explore the city’s breathtaking array of culinary highlights and indulge in other adventures ranging from sumo to a Goma fire ceremony. In addition to dining at some of the city’s top restaurants, you will also visit the famous Toyosu Fish Market with a top chef, learn to make soba noodles, and indulge in Japan's favorite distilled beverage, shochu, at a small, atmospheric izakaya. Then, travel to Yamanashi’s famed vineyards for wine tastings and a delectable lunch in the Okuchichibu Mountains with views of the iconic Mount Fuji.

2. Amanemu

From Tokyo, a Shinkansen bullet train will speed you smoothly to Nagoya and then the Shima Peninsula, home to Japan’s most sacred Shinto shrines and the Ise-Shima National Park. Stay at Amanemu on the clifftop above Ago Bay, a peaceful place in which to immerse in timeless traditions including onsen (hot springs) bathing: an ancient method of relaxation and detoxification in magical mineral-rich volcanic waters. Dine on world-renowned sashimi and Wagyu beef and experience an exquisite 12-course kaiseki dinner where each plate is a work of art. Explore the Ise Jingu Grand Shrine and Mikimoto Pearl Island, where cultured pearls were first created using ama free-divers, who descended deep into the cold waters of Ise Shima for pearl oysters and fresh seafood.

3. Aman Kyoto

From Shima Peninsula you will helicopter to Osaka for a street food lunch tour to sample a variety of delicious Japanese quotidian dishes. Taste some of the world's finest whisky at the famed Suntory Yamazaki Whisky Distillery on your way into Kyoto and arrive at Aman Kyoto, set in a secret garden at the heart of a 32-hectare forest in one of Japan's ancient capitals. Enjoy a full day of private touring with your own car, driver and guide and explore the breathtaking temples, gardens, castles and shrines of Kyoto — from the Golden Pavilion and Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine to Nijo Castle and the Philosopher’s Walk. Experience zen meditation and a wagashi sweets making lesson before a sake tasting at Robert Yellin Yakimono Gallery and an exclusive Geisha dinner.
