Japan 3 Centre Escape

Japan 3 Centre Escape is a brilliant way to sample three of Japan’s most exciting cities in one trip. This Japan multi centre itinerary links together Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, giving you time to explore each at your own pace while enjoying comfortable, modern hotels on a room-only basis. With flights with Emirates and departures available year-round from various UK airports, it’s a flexible option whether you’re planning a first-time Japan adventure or returning to see more.

Across your nine nights you’ll stay in Tokyo’s Keio Plaza, Mercure Kyoto Station and Citadines Namba Osaka, creating a Tokyo city break from UK airports that naturally extends into a wider Kyoto and Osaka stay. Between each stop you can make use of Japan’s excellent rail network, giving you more time on the ground to experience local neighbourhoods, dining and culture.

Tokyo – Keio Plaza

Your Japan 3 Centre Escape begins with three nights at Keio Plaza in Tokyo. This well-known city hotel is perfectly placed for getting your bearings in Japan’s capital, with easy access to shops, restaurants and public transport. After your flight with Emirates you can settle into your room, freshen up and head straight out to immerse yourself in the bright lights, busy streets and endless food options that Tokyo is known for.

With your stay on a room-only basis, you’re free to seek out everything from casual ramen bars to sleek cocktail spots in the evenings. Spend your days exploring different districts, visiting museums and viewpoints or simply wandering through local streets and parks. Tokyo offers an incredible contrast of ultra-modern cityscapes and quiet shrines, and three nights gives you a great introduction before you move on to Kyoto.

Kyoto – Mercure Kyoto Station

Next, travel by train to Kyoto for a three-night stay at Mercure Kyoto Station. Just a short walk from the city’s main transport hub, this contemporary hotel is ideal if you want to be close to major rail lines and the subway while still enjoying a calm base. Inside, the design takes inspiration from Kyoto’s rich history, with traditional touches such as origami giving the interiors a distinctive boutique feel – perfect whether you’re visiting for sightseeing or relaxation. 

From here you can easily reach Kyoto’s temples, gardens and old streets. Spend your days exploring famous sights or discovering quieter corners of the city, returning in the evenings to a peaceful room that reflects the character of the destination. With your stay on a room-only basis, you can sample local cafés at breakfast and try different neighbourhood restaurants each night.

Osaka – Citadines Namba Osaka

Your final three nights are in Osaka at Citadines Namba Osaka, set in the beautifully restored Takashimaya East Annex, a registered Important Cultural Property. This residence blends heritage architecture with modern comfort, giving you a stay that feels more like living in the city than visiting. It’s within walking distance of Kuromon Market, Dotonbori and other central attractions, so you’ll have some of Osaka’s best food, shopping and entertainment right on your doorstep. 

Accommodation here ranges from studios to larger apartments, each equipped with a kitchen and washer-dryer for maximum convenience – ideal if you like a little extra space and the option to self-cater. Guests can also make use of facilities such as a gym, kids’ room, lounge and self-service laundrette, and there’s even a small museum that tells the story of the building’s history. 

Osaka offers a different side to Japan, with a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere and a strong food culture. Use your time here to wander the markets, try regional specialities and soak up the neon-lit riverfront before heading home.
