Average time to visit
Japan kicks off its year with cold winter days and the odd snowfall. Although temperatures occasionally drop below freezing, winter (December to February) is usually reasonable. Spring (March to May) brings pleasant, warm days, and, of course, cherry blossoms – early April is probably the best time to view the blooms. Summer (June to August) is hot and muggy. Late June can see torrential rains. The temperature and humidity are at their worst in August. Apart from spring, autumn (September to November) is the most pleasant season as temperatures cool down to a cosy level and days are often clear and fine. Fall also means the return of the dramatic foliage season, when the parks and green areas of the city mellow into varying hues of orange and red.
The Philippines has a tropical climate. Generally, the dry season runs from November to May, with scattered showers between June and October. January is usually the coolest month, with temperatures averaging about 25°C, and May the hottest, with an average temperature of about 28°C.

Days 1-4: Kyoto
The itinerary starts in Kyoto and we have included a private transfer from Kansai airport, just outside of Osaka for you on arrival. As the capital of Japan until the late 1800s the city is full of ancient palaces and temples which offer a fantastic insight into this country's unique history. Spend your days winding your way through the romantic streets of Gion and uncovering the mysteries of the stunning palaces and temples. We have included three nights in Kyoto and one full day of guiding so that you can discover all the ancient highlights but also have plenty of time to explore the city on your own, which we know will be important to you on your honeymoon. When you are in Kyoto we have included a traditional tea ceremony, a sacred art form in Japan, giving you a beautiful insight into this rich and interesting culture.

This sprawling metropolis truly offers something for everyone whether you are a night owl wanting to visit the bright lights of Roppongi or a culture vulture looking to immerse yourself in the ancient temples of the city. Like in Kyoto we have included a day of private guiding to explore the city. We work with some of the best guides in Japan who are both hugely knowledgeable and very flexible, customizing everything completely to you.

Days 7-12: Palawan
