Osaka to Tokyo: Adventure, Culinary and Cultural!!

Japan | Oct 7 - Oct 22, 2026

An adventure to remember with memories, people and activity. Ben and KIMKIM went beyond with solutions that will always be cherished. In our original discussion with Ben we asked for our adventure of Japan to be our adventure of Japan 2026. He made that come to be and even more.
The route from Osaka to Hiroshima to Miyajima Island to Kyoto to Nara to Toyko and full immersion with Toyko Disneyland and Disney Sea made our excursion exciting, historical and exhausting. It all came together with planning and coordination with Ben and his beautiful excursions added into the itenerary. I cannot fail to mention, the local guides at each major stop:
Eiicgu Shirakawa aka 'Mr. H'; Hideo Uematsu and Ryuji Kanie where fantastic with local color, culture and great coaching keeping our journey on schedule. Everyone at KimKim was extremely helpful in making any adjustments to the travel on the spot. The travel associates where ready to make adaptations and Ben was there to check on us every day with additional choices when necessary.
Our adventure had many highlights to name a few. World Heritage Himeji Castle, Kobe feast, Peace Memorial, Okonomiyaki, Kayaking under the Floating Torii Gate, Samurai and Ninga Museum, Todaiji Temple, Mount Fuji and the Panoramic Ropeway, Japanese Tea Ceremony, Harajuku, Shinjuku, Shibuya crossing and sky, Akihabara, Senso-ji and Disney Sea and Disneyland. All of the above, with local train, bus, ferry Shinkansin (bullet train) and private vehicles. We all had perhaps favorites but how can you immerse in many more areas and come out totally fulfilled.
We challenge our fellow tour groups to match this event. Please do not forget Japenese yen, Suica card, Pasamo and great hiking footwear along with your appetite!!
Thanks from the bottom of our hearts to KimKim and our favorite Ben Tanaka.
