Gion Festival Tour | Anime & Hiroshima

Gion Festival Tour | Anime & Hiroshima

11 days · Group Tour · Kanto, Kanagawa
$4,775 per person
Where Tokyo's anime energy meets Kyoto’s most iconic festival—and Hiroshima’s living history. This expertly guided journey blends pop-culture thrills with profound tradition: dive into Akihabara’s collector hubs, the immersive art of teamLab Planets, and must-shop stops like the Pokemon Center before shifting to lantern-lit Kyoto for the Gion Festival’s towering yamaboko floats and festive streets. Walk the vermilion paths of Fushimi Inari and breathe in bamboo stillness in Arashiyama, then travel west to the storybook silhouette of Himeji Castle and the solemn beauty of Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park & A-Bomb Dome, with a serene ferry across to Miyajima’s “floating” torii at Itsukushima Shrine. Ideal for anime lovers who also crave cultural depth, photographers chasing atmosphere, and travelers who want a seamless, festival-season Japan—vivid, moving, and unforgettable.
