Craving neon cityscapes, sakura blossoms, ancient temples and world-class cuisine? We’ve teamed up with Intrepid Travel to give one lucky reader (and their travel buddy) the chance to explore Japan. With two spots on a small group adventure, accommodation over eight days and return flights, the prize is valued at around $13,500.
The winner will be joining Intrepid’s Japan Highlights tour, a rich, eye-opening journey from the buzzing streets of Tokyo to the offbeat offerings of Osaka. Along the way, you’ll experience views of Mount Fuji from Mishima, travel through the mountains and gorges of Kawane, and ride the legendary Shinkansen to Kyoto, where you’ll sample some of the world’s best cuisine, from izakaya bites to market-fresh sushi.
Finally, in Japan’s unofficial food capital, Osaka, you’ll take a street-food walking tour through the Dotonbori district and Kuromon Market.
