Day-by-day itinerary

  1. Day1ISTANBUL – SEOUL

    We meet at the international departures terminal of Istanbul Airport three hours before departure (one day before the flight date). We complete baggage, ticketing and boarding formalities.

  2. Day2SEOUL

    We depart for Seoul on a scheduled Turkish Airlines flight. Upon arrival in Seoul, we board our private vehicle waiting at the airport and transfer to our hotel, with free time to rest. Overnight stay at our hotel.

  3. Day3SEOUL – OSAKA

    After breakfast at the hotel, we take a panoramic Seoul city tour. Sights include Gyeongbokgung Palace, the National Folk Museum of Korea, Insadong Antique Street, and Myeongdong Street. At the end of the tour, we transfer to Seoul Airport at the time specified by our guide for our flight to Osaka. After passport and baggage procedures, we depart for Osaka with a local airline. Upon arrival, we transfer to our hotel in Osaka, followed by free time to relax. Overnight at our hotel.

  4. Day4OSAKA – TODAIJI – NARA DEER PARK – KOFUKUJI – FUSHIMI INARI – KYOTO

    After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for our Osaka Castle tour. With a history spanning almost 450 years, this five-story castle is one of the country's most visually magnificent creations and a fine testament to traditional Japanese architecture, from its subtle balance of colors to the elegant patterns and shapes adorning each floor. At the end of the tour, we transfer to Kyoto for a full day of free time. We then depart for our Nara tour. We begin with Todaiji Temple. Built in 752, the temple was intended to serve as the head of all Buddhist temples. Its influence grew over time, extending into politics in the 8th century. Todaiji's main hall has also entered the record books as the world's largest wooden structure. This enormous building houses one of Japan's largest bronze Buddha statues (Daibutsu). We then visit Nara Park, a large park in central Nara. It is home to many of Nara's major attractions, including Todaiji, Kofukuji, and the Nara National Museum. It is also home to hundreds of freely roaming deer. After the opportunity to take photographs with the roaming deer, we visit Kofukuji Temple. Finally, we visit Fushimi Inari Shrine, one of Kyoto's best-known landmarks. Dedicated to the Shinto faith, this shrine is particularly famous for its thousands of red "torii" gates. After the tour, we transfer to our hotel in Kyoto, followed by free time to relax. Overnight at our hotel.

  5. Day5KYOTO – KINKAKUJI – KIYOMIZUDERA – GION – KYOTO

    After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for our full-day Kyoto tour. We begin our city tour at Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, which welcomes visitors with a 500-meter walking trail. As we walk along the trail, you can enjoy the sound of the wind passing through the bamboo and take photographs of the forest. We then continue with our tour of Kinkakuji Temple. A Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf, Kinkakuji is also known as the Golden Pavilion. Each floor of this impressive building overlooking a large pond represents a different architectural style. After free time, we visit Kiyomizudera (Pure Water) Temple, founded in 780 at the site of Otowa Waterfall in the wooded hills east of Kyoto and named after the waterfall's pure waters. Our final stop is Gion, Kyoto's most famous geisha district, located around Shijo Avenue between Yasaka Shrine to the east and the Kamo River to the west. Here, we will have the opportunity to watch a traditional Japanese tea ceremony performed by maiko. After the tour, we transfer to our hotel in Kyoto, followed by free time to relax. Overnight at our hotel.

    Note: When leaving the hotel on the morning of the tour, you must take a small bag with everything you need for one day. All other belongings left at the hotel will be transferred to the hotel in Tokyo 1 day in advance, as we will travel from Kyoto to Tokyo by high-speed train the following day.

  6. Day6KYOTO – MOUNT FUJI – HAKONE – LAKE ASHI – TOKYO

    After breakfast at the hotel, we transfer to Tokyo by high-speed train. We then depart for Mount Fuji. Standing 3776 meters tall and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2013, Mount Fuji is Japan's highest mountain and is known for its elegant conical shape. It is a sacred symbol of the country, with temples and shrines around and on the volcano. Weather permitting, we will reach Mount Fuji's fifth station, where you can enjoy magnificent views above the clouds in a wonderful setting. We then depart for our Hakone tour. Among Hakone's most distinctive features are its exceptional views, thanks to its proximity to Mount Fuji. Here, we take a boat tour on Lake Ashi to enjoy this magnificent scenery together. We then ascend Owakudani Hill by cable car for the chance to admire the beauty of the Hakone valley from above. At the end of the tour, we transfer to our hotel in Tokyo, followed by free time to relax. Overnight at our hotel.

  7. Day7TOKYO – ASAKUSA – NAKAMISE – MEIJI – SHIBUYA CROSSING – TEAMLAB PLANETS – GINZA

    After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for our Tokyo city tour. Our first stop is Asakusa Temple, also known as Sensoji, a Buddhist temple in Asakusa and one of Tokyo's oldest and most colorful temples. According to legend, it was built by 2 fisherman brothers to honor Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Completed in 645, the temple is approached through Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate), which leads to Nakamise, a shopping street stretching over 200 meters. The other end of the street leads to Hozomon, the temple's second gate. During our stop on the shopping street, you can purchase typical Japanese souvenirs such as kimonos and folding fans, or sample a variety of traditional local snacks from the Asakusa area. We continue with a visit to Meiji Shrine, an important Shinto shrine where you can find tranquility amid Tokyo's bustling city life and experience Japanese culture and history up close. Built in 1920 in memory of Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, the shrine welcomes visitors with impressive, enormous "torii" gates at its entrance. We then visit Shibuya Crossing, one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in Shibuya, one of the 23 special wards of Japan's capital, Tokyo. Located among business and shopping centers in one of the city's busiest areas, it is known as the world's busiest pedestrian crossing. We then depart for the Teamlabb Digital Art Museum. As the world's first digital art museum, it will make you feel as though you have stepped into a fantastical world. Located in Tokyo's Toyosu district, TeamLab is an interactive digital art museum that combines technology and art to offer visitors a sensory and emotional experience. This unique space uses elements such as water, light, movement, and sound to create an artistic world in which you can fully immerse yourself. TeamLab Planets focuses on the theme of “Body Immersive.” In this concept, visitors do more than view artworks: they become part of them. In areas explored without shoes, walking barefoot enhances the sensory experience. We then depart for Ginza, Tokyo's most famous luxury shopping, dining, and entertainment district, home to numerous stores, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, nightclubs, and cafés. From 1612 to 1800, the area now known as Ginza was the site of a silver coin mint, giving the district its name, which means "silver mint" in Japanese. Finally, we conclude our tour with a photo stop at Tokyo Tower. At the end of the tour, we transfer to our hotel in Tokyo, followed by free time to relax. Overnight at our hotel.

  8. Day8TOKYO – ISTANBUL

    We check out early in the morning and transfer to Tokyo Airport for our flight to Istanbul. After baggage, passport and ticket formalities, we depart on a scheduled Turkish Airlines flight. Our tour and services end upon arrival at Istanbul Airport.

  • As tour flights are booked with group tickets, flight times may change. You can confirm the latest flight details with your agency. Your agency will provide the updated times with the tour information.
  • Tour flight times must be confirmed before purchasing domestic flights. Guests who purchase their domestic connecting flights independently from a provider other than the agency cannot request any refund from the agency if the tour is cancelled by the agency or flight times change. By purchasing the tour, guests accept in advance any financial or non-financial losses that may arise from the cancellation or modification of the tour. Fly Express cannot be held responsible for such circumstances. Fly Express is not responsible if guests who arrange their own domestic flights miss their international flights due to delays, flight cancellations or similar reasons.
  • Under airline rules, if the outbound flight on a round-trip ticket is not used, the airline will cancel the return flight.
  • Guests joining the tour without flights must make their own way to the tour's starting point and arrive on time. Otherwise, they will be responsible for arranging all their own transfers.
  • Fly Express is not responsible if guests are unable to take their flight because they are not at the specified airport at the times advised in accordance with airline rules, fail to complete check-in and boarding procedures on time, or complete these procedures on time but are unable to board the aircraft. Guests who miss their flight are responsible for all expenses required to join the tour, including new round-trip flight tickets and transfers at the destination.
  • Tour participants are responsible for their personal belongings, bags, suitcases, passports / identity documents. Fly Express is not responsible for items that are left behind, lost or stolen. If forgotten items are found, there is no obligation to return them to the country and/or their owner, and any costs incurred in returning them are payable by the owner.
  • In cases of illness, loss, theft or similar incidents, the guide cannot accompany guests individually, as the guide's priority is to keep the group together and ensure the tour continues.

If there are insufficient participants, the tours may not operate, or their prices, content and vehicles may vary according to the number of participants. The guide may also change the days and times of tours according to the opening schedules of museums and archaeological sites and the weather conditions. A different guide may accompany guests on optional tours.
  • In our classic packages that do not include optional tours, participation in these tours is voluntary.

  • All guests, regardless of age or passport type, must apply for K-ETA approval and carry printouts of their K-ETA approvals.

  • The visa information provided in the programme applies to citizens of the Republic of Türkiye. Guests holding passports issued by other countries should obtain visa information from the relevant consulates.
  • To avoid problems with border officials upon arrival in the destination country, passports that are torn, worn, water-damaged and/or have sustained similar damage must be renewed. If the destination country requires a visa for Turkish citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility rests with the passenger.
  • When guests under 18 travel alone or with only one parent, border police may request a document showing the consent of both parents upon entry or exit. We therefore advise guests under 18 and their parents to pay particular attention to this requirement.
