Amidst the history and sacred shrines, you’ll find modern cities pulsing with life, charming and humble locals who welcome you graciously, and delicious local delicacies.
Here are just a few of the extraordinary experiences you can expect on these tours
Grand Peaks to Perfect Gardens
Immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of Japan. Journey through the majestic Japanese Alps, serene gardens, and timeless castles that stand as guardians of Japan’s rich history, all set against breathtaking landscapes that inspire awe and reverence.
Take a moment to gaze across the lake towards the iconic peak of Mount Fuji, its perfect silhouette rising above the water in serene, unforgettable splendour.
Unique Wildlife
Encounter Japan’s wildlife, such as the enchanting Japanese macaques, known as snow monkeys, as they charm visitors with their winter ritual of bathing in Yudanaka’s hot springs – a behaviour inspired by observing locals seeking warmth. Discover the thousands of sacred deer roaming freely through the city of Nara, who have learnt to gracefully bow for treats.
Gracious Geishas
Instantly recognisable and incredibly gracious, nothing is more synonymous with Japan than the geisha. Take a peek into this secretive world and enjoy a traditional Japanese meal (a kaiseki) whilst being entertained by a maiko (apprentice geisha), who will perform their traditional art of singing and dancing.
Sake, Sushi & More
Across our tours to Japan, guests have opportunities to indulge in authentic Japanese hospitality, be it a brilliant onsen hotel or the chance to stay in a traditional Ryokan (Japanese-style inn). We also enjoy many immersive experiences, such as sake tasting, sushi making and a bonsai workshop, for a unique insight into Japanese culture.
