JAPAN IN AUTUMN SEASON
Japan Autumn Grand Circuit tour package from Pune: Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Kyoto & Osaka
- 8 Nights | 9 Days
- Know More...
Maple leaves turn fire-red against Mt. Fuji’s snow-dusted slopes, ginkgo trees drop a carpet of gold along Tokyo’s shrine avenues, and Kyoto’s wooden temples sit framed by foliage so vivid it barely looks real in photographs. This is Momiji, Japan’s autumn leaf season, running roughly mid-October through late November, and it transforms the entire country into something close to a moving painting.
Autumn is also Japan’s most in-demand season, which means bullet train seats, Ryokan stays, and the best-located city hotels all get booked out fast. Add visa documentation and coordination of an Indian vegetarian meal to the mix, and independent planning quickly turns into a second job.
Samisha Holidays runs this Japan autumn tour package from Pune 6N7D as a fully managed circuit, with Shinkansen bookings, Ryokan reservations, visa paperwork, and food preferences all handled effortlessly from Pune or Mumbai before you even pack a bag.

Day-by-Day Japan Autumn Itinerary
01
Day 1: Arrival at Tokyo Haneda/Narita Airport, Welcome Meet & Greet, Luxury Coach Transfer to City Hotel & Shibuya Neon Nightlife Leisure
Land in Tokyo and get welcomed straight off the flight for a smooth luxury coach transfer into the city. Once settled at your hotel, head toward Shibuya as evening sets in, neon signs and the famous scramble crossing putting Tokyo’s hyper-modern energy on full display within hours of touching down in Japan.
02
Day 2: Guided Tokyo City Tour: Senso-ji Temple, Meiji Shrine, Ginkgo Avenue & Premium Ginza Shopping
Senso-ji Temple, Tokyo’s oldest, draws crowds through its iconic Kaminarimon Gate into a lane lined with traditional snacks and souvenirs. Meiji Shrine’s approach avenue turns into a golden tunnel this time of year, ginkgo leaves carpeting the path beneath towering trees in one of autumn Tokyo’s most photographed stretches. Round off the day with leisure shopping in Ginza, Tokyo’s most polished retail district, flagship stores and department buildings glowing as dusk settles in.
03
Day 3: Tokyo to Mt. Fuji Scenic Drive, Ascend to Fuji 5th Station, Lake Ashi Autumn Foliage Cruise & Overnight at Traditional Ryokan with Hot Spring Onsen
The drive toward Mt. Fuji builds anticipation with every turn, the mountain’s snow-capped peak appearing and disappearing behind cloud cover until it finally reveals itself in full. Fuji 5th Station offers a panoramic platform partway up the mountain, autumn color stretching across the surrounding hillsides far below. A cruise across Lake Ashi follows, maple-lined shores reflecting in still water, with Mt. Fuji visible on clear days framing the entire scene. The day closes at a traditional Ryokan, tatami floors and a multi-course kaiseki dinner setting the tone before a soak in natural Onsen hot spring waters, the perfect reset after a day of sightseeing.
04
Day 4: Board the Shinkansen Bullet Train to Kyoto, Evening Heritage Walk in Gion Geisha District
Board the Shinkansen for the high-speed run toward Kyoto, the bullet train’s smoothness and speed turning what would be a long road journey into a comfortable couple of hours. Arrive in Kyoto and spend the evening wandering Gion, the historic geisha district, where wooden machiya houses line narrow lanes and, with some luck, a geiko or maiko might be spotted gliding between appointments in full traditional dress.
05
Day 5: Exploring Kyoto's Autumn Jewels: Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion, Arashiyama Bamboo Forest & Fushimi Inari Torii Gates
Kinkaku-ji, the Golden Pavilion, reflects in its surrounding pond with gold leaf catching the light, autumn maples adding broad red accents around the water’s edge. Arashiyama’s Bamboo Grove follows, towering green stalks filtering sunlight into shifting patterns overhead as you walk the path. Fushimi Inari Shrine closes the day with thousands of vermilion Torii gates forming a tunnel up the mountainside, one of Japan’s most iconic and most photographed walks.
06
Day 6: Kyoto to Nara Day Trip (Deer Park & Todai-ji Temple), Afternoon Osaka City Tour Covering Osaka Castle and Dotonbori Street Food Walks
A short trip to Nara brings you face to face with the city’s famously friendly wild deer, roaming freely around Todai-ji Temple’s grounds, home to one of Japan’s largest bronze Buddha statues housed inside an equally massive wooden hall. By afternoon, shift into Osaka’s energy entirely, Osaka Castle’s stone walls and autumn-tinted moat grounds offering a calmer contrast before Dotonbori’s neon signs and street food stalls take over for the evening, takoyaki and okonomiyaki smoke drifting through the crowd.
07
Day 7: Souvenir Shopping (Matcha & Souvenirs) & Departure Transfer to Osaka Kansai Airport for Return Flight
A final morning for souvenir shopping, matcha sweets, traditional crafts, and last-minute gifts, before transferring to Kansai Airport for your return flight. Seven days, four regions, and an autumn version of Japan that genuinely justifies its premium reputation.
08
Day 8: Full-Day Osaka & Universal Studios Japan / Free Leisure for Shopping at Shinsaibashi and Umeda Sky Building
After experiencing Japan’s rich cultural heritage, spend your eighth day enjoying the modern attractions of Osaka. Adventure lovers can opt for a full-day visit to Universal Studios Japan (USJ), one of Asia’s most popular theme parks, featuring world-famous attractions like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, thrilling roller coasters, and seasonal Halloween events during autumn.
Guests preferring a relaxed pace can enjoy a guided city excursion covering Shinsaibashi Shopping Street, Umeda Sky Building Floating Garden Observatory, and Nakanoshima Riverside Park, where vibrant maple trees create stunning autumn scenery. The evening is perfect for exploring Osaka’s lively cafés, premium shopping malls, and illuminated city streets before returning to your hotel.
09
Day 9: Osaka – Kansai International Airport Departure | End of Your Japan Autumn Tour from Pune
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before checking out of your hotel. Depending on your flight schedule, you’ll have time for some last-minute shopping for authentic Japanese souvenirs, premium Matcha products, KitKat flavours, traditional handicrafts, and cosmetics.
Your tour manager will arrange a comfortable transfer to Kansai International Airport (KIX) for your return flight to India. As your memorable 9 Days Japan Autumn Tour Package from Pune concludes, you’ll return home with unforgettable memories of Tokyo’s vibrant cityscape, Mt. Fuji’s breathtaking autumn colours, Kyoto’s timeless temples, Nara’s peaceful parks, and Osaka’s modern charm.
