What’s the big deal? Tokyo and Kyoto are Japan’s two most quintessential destinations, and this trip takes you to both for four nights each—plenty of time to explore the country’s current and former capitals. You’ll ride the bullet train between cities, stopping in Nara along the way to see historic temples and interact with the famous wild deer that inhabit Nara Park. And because this vacation comes with two and a half days of guided tours, you’ll have plenty of free time to see, eat and do whatever interests you most.

For $1999 per person (saving up to $1100 compared to similar trips), this offer from Exoticca includes:

• Departures from Los Angeles and San Diego (San Francisco and Seattle are +$100) on select dates in October-February with bullet train transportation between Tokyo, Nara and Kyoto
• 8 nights’ accommodations in well-reviewed, conveniently located hotels in Tokyo and Kyoto (with daily breakfast)
• Full-day guided tours in Tokyo and Kyoto; half-day guided tour in Nara
