One week, the two cities that define Japan, and a bullet train between them with Mt. Fuji at the window. Tokyo's east side of temples and markets, its west side of crossings and neon, a mountain day in Hakone with Fuji across the lake — then Kyoto: ten thousand red gates at Fushimi Inari, the Golden Pavilion, Arashiyama's bamboo, and tea in a lane where geiko still pass at dusk. Built for first-timers: no wasted transfers, a driver who handles every transfer, and hotels we book on request so you walk out the door into the middle of it.
