Itinerary at a Glance
9 days Essence of Spring | Southern Japan - Cherry Blossom Seasonal Tour
From Kyoto(Osaka) To Osaka
Uncover the Hidden Beauty of Southern Japan. Discover a spring journey that blends timeless traditions and breathtaking natural landscapes. This 8-day tour takes you off the beaten path—through mountain valleys, hot spring towns, and riverside sanctuaries lined with cherry blossoms. Wander the charming Edo-era streets of Hita’s Mamedamachi, with its sake breweries and traditional architecture. Take in the sweeping views from Daikanbo on Mount Aso’s caldera, and experience the energy of a live taiko drum performance in nature’s amphitheater.

Marvel at the dramatic cliffs and clear waters of Takachiho Gorge, then visit the sacred Amano Iwato Shrine, steeped in Japanese mythology. Relax in soothing hot springs in Beppu, and enjoy cuisine made with pure spring water and seasonal ingredients. From udon-making workshops to ferry and coach travel through ever-changing scenery, every stop offers a rich connection to Japan’s cultural and natural soul.
