The real, historic culture of Japan is best understood from a native cultural experience, and in the town of Takayama, a celebration of the changing season pair with centuries of fervent tradition to produce the Takayama Spring Festival. Also known as the Sanno Festival (for the shrine that celebrates it), this festival carries in the new spring along with about a dozen unique Yatai floats. An event such as the spring festival, when connected with the other temples, castles, shrines, and local experiences included in our tour, will draw you into the essence of Japan.

Tour through the busiest city in Japan, Tokyo, where our private guides and drivers will help you navigate through the city’s top amusements.

Head to Kanazawa and stroll through Kenrokuen Garden, one of Japan’s top three gardens.

Behold Todaiji Temple in the city of Nara, home to a towering Buddha statue, while nearby, in Nara Park, you can mingle in company of over a thousand adorable, friendly Sika deer. Spend three nights in Kyoto, where you will get to visit the city’s top temples and shrines. Take the chance to learn Japanese calligraphy, Ikebana flower- arranging, and how to play Taiko drums. Try on a colorful kimono, meditate like a Zen Buddhist monk at Kodaiji Temple, participate in a traditional green tea ceremony, and enjoy Kyoto cuisine with entertainment by an apprentice geisha (maiko).
