Takayama Festival | Hiroshima - Cherry Blossom Seasonal Tour
$5,980 per person
It begins with the sound of drums echoing through a mountain valley. The Takayama Festival — one of Japan's most celebrated traditions for over 400 years — fills ancient streets with elaborately carved floats as cherry blossoms drift overhead.
What follows is a journey through Japan's quieter wonders. UNESCO-listed thatched villages frozen in time. Gold leaf hammered by hand in Kanazawa. The floating torii of Miyajima rising from the Seto Inland Sea. A moment of stillness in Hiroshima.
From the roar of the festival to the whisper of sacred shores. The Japan that asks something of you. Tokyo to Hiroshima. Cherry blossom season.
