14 days, from $2056 (Group tour). Intrepid Travel »  
 

The Katsura Imperial Villa (Katsura Rikyu). Sitting in Tokyo's western suburbs, and a one-time residence for the Japanese Imperial Family, this is a suitably regal retreat, with goldsmith's work decorating the lavish interiors, and a classically elegant garden; all lanterns and bridges. Visits by appointment only.
