Takayama & Villages | Grand Tour - Cherry Blossom Seasonal Tour
$7,980 per person
From the UNESCO-listed thatched villages of the Japanese Alps to the sacred island of Miyajima, from Kanazawa's gold leaf workshops and samurai residences to the mythical gorges and volcanic landscapes of Kyushu — this is the most complete cherry blossom journey through Japan ever assembled.
Step into an Edo-period post town where time never moved on. Watch a mountain market come alive at dawn. Learn a craft that has defined a city for centuries. Rest in a traditional countryside ryokan. Let Kyushu's ancient landscapes leave you wordless.
Wide and deep. Ancient and modern. Mountain, sea and volcano.
Don't just pass through. Let Japan pass through you. Tokyo to Nagasaki. Cherry blossom season.
