Colorful festivals celebrated year round with decorated floats & costumed dancers
This newly designed tour embodies the true essence and beauty of Japan. Elegant in its precision, comprehensive in its attention to detail, dramatic in its simplicity and exuberant in its appreciation for beauty, Japan is a surprise to the senses. Engross yourself in this amazing country of contrasts – both ancient and ultramodern, where timeworn pathways lead to jaw dropping modern architecture, and geisha districts coexist with cutting-edge art scenes. See traditions passed down from the samurai. Stay in an elegant ryokan (a Japanese style inn) and learn proper sushi etiquette. Visit Naoshima Island, to see some of Japan's finest contemporary art in beautiful natural settings. Admire Japan’s beautifully landscaped gardens, marvel at the austere yet impressive Japanese castle architecture and rejuvenate in the soothing therapeutic hot springs in the Japanese mountains!
