** COVID 19 UPDATE – THIS TOUR HAS BEEN DEFERRED TO 2022**
WELL, PLAN ON JOINING US IN MARCH 2021 WHEN WE PAY A second visit the Land of the Rising Sun!
Japan offers an extraordinary mix of ancient cultures and feudal histories … austere traditions and sober memorials … lush landscapes and manicured gardens … rush-hour cities and hushed retreats … hi-tech wonders and hi-speed rail …samurai-warriors and sumo-wrestlers … tuna-auctions and mouth-watering sashimi … Buddhist monks and ornate temples … geisha girls and karaoke wannabes … rightly proud citizens plus a welcome that’s so generous you’ll be blown away.
Japan, quite simply, has it all! It’s unlike any other place on earth. And travellers who come expecting the unexpected
invariably find themselves entranced. Which is what happened earlier this year: we had a BALL!
In 2020, we’ll again visit Japan in the springtime, when the nation’s iconic cherry blossoms (sakura) erupt in a magical blaze of pink-and-white, blanketing town and countryside in soft, colourful splendour. Factor in lots of yummy Japanese cuisine … friendly, English-speaking guides … plus superb accommodation … and you have a unique, 16-day, hasslefree experience that you’ll be raving about for decades!
