Japan Autumn Colours Tour Package

Eikando officially lists night visits from 20 November through 6 December 2026. We need one overnight stay in Kyoto during that period to include Eikando. If your chosen dates fall outside it, we must revise the included evening experience before confirming a booking.

The base includes a budgeted seasonal evening entrance. An actual ticket or entrance arrangement is not held. Eikando publishes same-day admission arrangements and capacity rules; if access cannot be confirmed, we will disclose this and agree on an alternative or adjustment.

Two full sightseeing days are valuable in late autumn: one for Higashiyama temple gardens and one for Arashiyama. A third night also improves the chances of fitting an officially operating night light-up without forcing a rushed transfer.

Not for this one-way route. A standard Tokyo-Kyoto Shinkansen ticket and local Kyoto-Nara-Osaka journeys cost substantially less than the nationwide seven-day ordinary pass, so the base uses individual tickets.

The budget is for a reserved ordinary-class Nozomi service on the Tokaido Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Kyoto Station, approximately 450-475 km by rail in roughly 2 hours 10 minutes to 2 hours 45 minutes depending on the timetable.

No. Nara is a sightseeing stop as you move from Kyoto toward Osaka. This avoids a fourth hotel and reduces luggage packing, although lockers or baggage forwarding may be needed.

No. These IC cards are useful on many participating metro and local rail services, but a separately reserved Shinkansen ticket is needed for the main intercity leg. Card acceptance can vary by route.

Shinjuku Gyoen is the principal paid garden stop. Meiji Jingu Gaien ginkgo avenue and Ueno Park are also planned public-area visits. Exact access can be affected by local crowd control and event restrictions.

A double bed is the requested and priced room basis for two adults, not a promise against unsold inventory. We will show the actual room type in the final property quote and highlight any change before booking.

No. This is a land-only quotation. International flights from India and any flights inside Japan are excluded and would be quoted separately if requested.

Indian passport holders generally need the appropriate Japan short-stay tourist visa or eVISA process via authorised channels including VFS. Atravelq helps organise documents; government and VFS fees are excluded and only Japanese authorities determine approval.

Major stations and larger districts have vegetarian options, but strict Jain requirements can be harder because stock, sauces and cross-contact are not always obvious. We can share suitable restaurant research, while each kitchen must confirm ingredients directly.

November in Kyoto attracts significant demand. We recommend confirming departure dates and hotels early; we then check the specific illumination calendar, reserved Shinkansen seats and any timed admissions for availability, rather than assuming entry is guaranteed.

The route still works as a sightseeing holiday, but Kyoto maple colours and Eikando's November illumination may not be available. We would adjust seasonal wording and replace the evening experience with an event verified for your exact October dates.
