Planning this as a private tour? Tell us three things — your dates, how many nights, and who is travelling (including children or older guests) — and we will send a route outline free. WhatsApp +852 6888 4736 · or info@blisstravel.life.

We plan rail travel as part of an itinerary, and you buy the tickets in your own name. We do not resell rail passes; we tell you which trains make sense, which do not, and where a car is faster door to door.

Where rail beats a car

Japan's shinkansen is usually faster city-centre to city-centre than flying, once transfers and security are counted. In Europe, intercity rail is excellent between capitals but poor for reaching the countryside. China's high-speed network is fast and punctual but station locations can add an hour at each end.

How we decide

Count the door-to-door time

A 90-minute flight with two hours of airport on each side is a five-hour day. We compare the whole journey, not the timetable.

Keep the luggage problem in mind

Rail is comfortable with a small bag and awkward with three large cases, especially on Japanese commuter platforms. On routes with several stops, a car and driver removes that entirely.

Mixed plans often win

Many of our itineraries use rail for the long city-to-city leg and a private car for the regional days. That combination is usually cheaper and faster than either alone.

What we need from you

The cities, the dates and how much luggage you travel with. We will come back with a recommended combination and the reasoning. Planning is free — WhatsApp +852 6888 4736.
