The must see sights of Tohoku & Hokkaido...plus cherry blossoms & wisteria in Spring.

In Japan, the main sign that spring has arrived comes in the form of light-pink petals begining to appear on the trees across the city. This marks the beginning of the year and brings out special sentiments among the Japanese people. Cherry Blossoms bloom in Northern Japan approximately one month later than in Central Japan, from mid-April to early May. Northern Japan has a long winter compared to other parts of Japan.

In Japan, the main sign that spring has arrived comes in the form of light-pink petals begining to appear on the trees across the city. This marks the beginning of the year and brings out special sentiments among the Japanese people. Cherry Blossoms bloom in Northern Japan approximately one month later than in Central Japan, from mid-April to early May. Northern Japan has a long winter compared to other parts of Japan. Thus, the symbol of the arrival of spring has even more significance to the people in Northern Japan.

We have designed this tour for people who wish to see both cherry blossoms and wisteria. At the Ashikaga Flower Park, you can bask under a variety of wisteria and see the Great Wisteria Tree that is over 150 years old. Moreover, the park has been selected as one of the 9 international dream destinations, as well as one of the 31 most beautiful places in Japan by CNN.

After exploring Ashikaga, will continue our journey to Nikko. The Japanese have a saying: "Don’t say kekko (wonderful) without seeing Nikko." We will visit the main attraction of Nikko - Toshogu Shrine. Toshogu enshrines the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate and is lavishly decorated with a large amount of gold leaf and countless wooden carvings of various creatures. These sites have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites in Nikko.

Proceed to Matsushima, a picturesque bay full of small islands covered in pine trees where we'll explore ancient caves once frequented by meditating monks. Matsushima is famous for being one of the Three Most Beautiful Natural Sights in Japan. Then, we head up to Hiraizumi for a cultural interlude and stroll around the magnificent Japanese Cedar Trees and photogenic buildings at Chusonji Temple. Enjoy the Kitakami Tenshochi Cherry Blossom Festival before proceeding to Hakodate by crossing the Tsugaru channel between the islands of Hokkaido and Honshu, via the undersea train tunnel.

Our trip continues in Hokkaido, the second largest, northernmost, and least developed land of Japan's four main islands. On the island of Hokkaido, we will visit Hakodate, Onuma Park, Lake Toya, Noboribetsu, Shiraoi, Otaru, and end our tour in Sapporo. We have designed this tour for those who wish to discover parts of Japan that are rarely seen.
