Travel story
A circuit plan that lets you fully enjoy the three major ancient cities representing the Silk Road—Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand—world heritage sites adorned with blue tiles and an eternal sense of history.
You can enjoy special experiences in addition to the classics, such as the ancient fortress Ayaz Kala, Bukhara's folk dances, and the magical illumination of Registan Square at night.
A free stroll to Panjakent in Tajikistan offers the excitement unique to crossing a border.
With a Japanese-speaking guide accompanying you, you can travel with peace of mind while deepening your understanding of the history and culture.
This trip is recommended for those who want to experience the grand history of the Silk Road, local life, and beautiful scenery all at once.
Signature points
Thoroughly tour the three major Silk Road cities
This is the classic route that efficiently visits the three Silk Road world heritage cities: Khiva, Bukhara, and Samarkand.
Visit each ancient city with its unique history and architectural beauty—mosques and madrasas adorned with blue tiles, historic bazaars—and fully enjoy the charms of Uzbekistan.
You can also enjoy different faces by day and night, such as the illumination of Registan Square, which is a highlight of this trip.
A small adventure crossing the border to Tajikistan on your own
By purposely handling the transfer to Panjakent and the border procedures yourself, this is a special day to deepen the "feeling of truly traveling."
Free time to walk through a foreign town at your own pace and enjoy the local atmosphere and encounters with people creates an adventurous feeling you can't get on a guided tour.
While we provide solid support for accommodations and the surrounding itinerary, this plan also lets you experience the joy of taking a step on your own.
Add special experiences beyond the classics
In addition to visiting world heritage sites, this plan includes unique experiences such as the ancient fortress Ayaz Kala standing in the desert and folk dance performances in Bukhara.
You can also enjoy landscapes that change depending on the time and place you visit, such as desert scenery and the magical night view of Registan Square.
This trip lets you feel the profound charm of the Silk Road with all your senses, not just by "touring the sights."
