Tour the Gardens of Japan to see some of the most
peaceful, heavenly, and meticulous landscapes that
have
ever been cultivated. Centuries of landscaping
philosophy
and respect for nature give Japan's various gardens a
deep and spiritual atmosphere, at once lovely, subtle,
and
poetic in every glimpse. If viewing such nature scenes
is a
meaningful, enjoyable, or spiritual experience for you,
a
tour of Japan's gardens is an absolute must. These
itineraries have been specially geared to take
advantage
of Japan's most vibrant seasonal events: spring cherry
blossoms and autumn colored leaves.
Your journey through Japan's best garden spots will be
facilitated by an English-speaking, government
certified
guide with over 10 years of experience. Having
studied
under the NHK Kyoto garden program, your
knowledgeable and friendly guide will bring a
specialized
expertise to your tour. Additionally, the tour includes
meeting an insightful tour with a professional
Japanese
garden builder and designer in Kyoto, who will be
available to answer your questions about Japanese
landscape gardening and maintenance, as well as
take
you to some of the city's finest gardens.
Walk in tranquil wonder through Japan's top gardens
while
you travel from Osaka, down into Shikoku, and back
up to
Tokyo in the garden tour of a lifetime. Other
destinations
on the tour include Himeji, Matsue, Awaji Island,
Izumo,
Takamatsu, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, and Tokyo. The parks
and
gardens that await your discovery include temple
gardens
in Kyoto and Nara, Kokoen garden near Himeji Castle,
Ritsurin Garden, Isuien Garden, Yushien Garden, as
well
as some private gardens off the beaten path.
During the spring tour, travel to see the delicate beauty
of
Japanese cherry blossoms, and stay to witness the art
museums and projects at Naoshima Art Island. In
autumn,
travel to a Koyasan temple complex radiant in colorful
autumn leaves, where guests are treated to a stay at a
temple, a dinner of monks' food, and all the must-sees
of
the Koyasan Temple complex, such as Kongobuji
Temple
and Okunoin Cemetery.
