Japan - in nearly full bloom!

5 - Excellent

Anonymous

“Whistle-stop tour of Japan's best bits - people have asked if I'd go back - well of course I would if someone was paying my fare! Fantastic country full of culture, contrast and contradiction.”

Japan in Blossom Time!

5 - Excellent

Anonymous

“We were incredibly lucky to visit Japan at peak blossom time and it was absolutely stunning! This trip is a well-planned and well balanced introduction to Japan, ranging from ancient temples and shrines to the buzz of downtown Tokyo, and includes visits to small, rural towns as well as modern cities. Finishing in Tokyo means you are familiar with finding your way around on Japanese trains by the time you get there. The tour packs a lot in and, although it didn't feel rushed, there are some long days and be prepared for plenty of walking.”

A trip that I will cherish forever!

5 - Excellent

Owen Short

“An amazing way to experience Japan in a short trip for your first time. Being able to meet people all over the world and share the experience was perfect. For the price and freedom to explore when not busy was worth every cent. Almost overwhelming how much you get to see and do in the prettiest place in the world. Felt safe and if I needed anything my guide was able to help. Met so many amazing people that I consider valued friends in just 10 days of fun. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Visit food markets to discover fresh produce, unique ingredients and delightful snacks.
