TCS World Travel, the world’s most awarded and experienced private jet expedition company, announces Japan’s Hidden Gems by Private Jet, a groundbreaking 11-day journey launching June 20-30, 2026. This one-of-a-kind itinerary is the first to connect capitals, remote islands, and countryside landscapes in one seamless experience – entirely by private jet.
The curated expedition spans Kyoto, Okinawa, and Kyushu, offering access to eight UNESCO World Heritage sites and a diverse mix of cultural immersion, natural beauty, and insider experiences rarely available on a single itinerary.
“Japan is a destination that has it all, from modern innovation to ancient culture, breathtaking scenery to exceptional cuisine,” said Shelley Cline, President of TCS World Travel. “With our new Japan’s Hidden Gems expedition, we’ve created the most effortless and comprehensive way to experience the country’s iconic cities, historic treasures, and remote coastal beauty without the complexity of traditional travel.”
The Only Journey of Its Kind Across Japan
Unlike conventional tours that rely on bullet trains, ferries, and multiple commercial flights, Japan’s Hidden Gems eliminates logistical hurdles, allowing for more time in each destination and exclusive access along the way. TCS World Travel is also the only luxury tour operator to include Okinawa as part of an all-inclusive group jet expedition, granting travelers rare access to the island’s turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and unique Ryukyu heritage.
Highlights of Japan’s Hidden Gems include:
The all-inclusive journey includes private flights aboard TCS’ state-of-the-art, custom-configured and outfitted Airbus A321*, luxury accommodations, ground transportation, curated excursions, dining, and top-of-the-line expert guides. With an experienced expedition team managing every detail, guests can focus fully on discovery, comfort, and connection.
