Plan a bay journey with time for both the landscape and the transfers. Start with the route and the type of boat experience, then choose your pace.

Combine an inland base with a coastal stay only when you have time for the transfer. Let neighbourhoods shape the journey rather than a long checklist.

Plan Tokyo by neighbourhood. Pair focused walks with straightforward rail journeys and leave room for small discoveries along the way.
