AN EXCLUSIVE ITINERARY ... AT CHERRY BLOSSOM TIME
We have created an exclusive series of visits on this tour that you will not find from any other company. You will be venturing off the beaten track to unusual destinations where you will most likely be the only foreign guest.
We will take you to a secluded cove with a hideaway beach and a backdrop cliff planted with wild azaleas and cherry trees, then walk through a spectacular labyrinthine limestone cave where we follow a crystal clear river that flows from deep within the mountains. In the eerie, reputedly haunted, dense forest at the foot of Mt Fuji we will explore a lava tube to see walls of permanent ice that can be seen even during the heat of summer.
Visit a Glass Museum to see valuable treasures of ancient glass artefacts, 5 metre high trees adorned with thousands of faceted glass beads and even a glass shirt and slippers. The Hokusai Museum shows us a wonderful collection of the artists original wood block prints, try wasabi flavoured ice cream at a wasabi farm and visit the famous Snow Monkeys of Japan's Central Alps.
Meet a Bonsai Master in his home and see his outstanding collection of Bonsai plants, whilst in several locations we will see gardens and parks festooned with Cherry Blossoms in full bloom.
Travel by coach 2,335 metres up Mt. Fuji to above the tree line, ride Senjojiki Kar Ropeway to above the clouds on Mt Komagane and take a short cruise at Jodogahama for a different viewpoint of the rugged coastline.
