Japan tours in depth

Our Japan trips are incomplete without taking the time to savour the country’s cuisine. Seafood lovers will adore the fresh flavours of sushi, and who could resist the perfect bowl of udon or soba noodles after a long day exploring? With the highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world, it’s no wonder Japan tours often focus on the food, but there’s the drink to consider too – from the highly nuanced and ritualistic tea ceremonies to sipping traditional, warming sake.

The country has four distinct seasons, each with its own appeal, and when planning trips to Japan it’s best to pick the one that excites you best. You could go in spring, when one of nature’s greatest phenomenon is happening. The sakura, or cherry blossom, is spectacular, and many holidays are timed to celebrate the beautiful blush of delicate pink blossom that coats the country. In summer, the Japanese Alps are at their best and walkers can head out on two feet to follow ancient trails rich with history. Less well-known is the autumnal koyo, or autumn leaves – a stupendous burst of colour across the forests. Trips to Japan timed to catch these colourful displays are guaranteed to make you reach for your camera, to capture the memories forever.

A Great two weeks in Japan. Great people friendly, very helpful and polite.
Gary Davey Japan's Kumano Kodo

An amazing trip to japan to see its wonder and it didn’t disappoint. we were blessed with incredible weather which led to the blessing of seeing Mount Fuji fully during the day and at sunset which is mesmerising. the snow monkeys also came out to entertain us in such a beautiful location. we also had sakura viewings almost every day in abundance in the warm sunshine. spotting geisha wandering along and talking to each other as they were on the way to bookings was a lifelong tick of my list!! seeing a dance show complete with a comedy section which was totally relatable even if we couldn’t understand Japanese eating the most amazing food lots I have never had before and seeing how the real people of japan eat out and drink sake.
