Why go in February and March?

You can enjoy the spectacular scenery of both Winter and Spring!
This specially designed itinerary takes you to locations proud of their early Springtime Plum blossoms and Cherry blossoms. True, from mid March to early April you will see more Cherry Blossoms and we do offer you another tour at that time .. but by then thousands of tourists will be crowding in to the easily accessible viewing spots.
In February, Mt Fuji will still be crowned by it’s much photographed snow cap, Kegon Falls in Nikko National Park is usually decorated with icicles and a tranquil silent calm pervades the colourful temples and shrines. Along the coastal lowlands, fields of Plum Trees will be turning from bud to bloom and the early Kawazu Cherry Blossom trees will be adorned with their first beautiful blooms of the season. Experience a dramatic difference in climatic conditions as we travel from north to south through mountains, lowland farmlands and along the coast.

An exclusive itinerary created by Toursgallery.

This is not a Do It Yourself adventure or cheap budget tour.
For the past 34 years Toursgallery Destination Management has been creating exclusive small group tours to Japan, designed for discerning people who appreciate the advantages of a fully escorted tour. An Australian Japanese professional interpreter and experienced guide, Mayumi Gray, who actually produced this tour, will be with you every day.
Highlights of this unique tour include a meeting with genuine Japanese Geisha who will gladly pose for photos with you, after they present a performance of music and dance dressed in colourful Kimonos. Discover the art of Japanese Bizen Pottery making, visit a Japanese Sword maker, wander along laneways of charming old villages and explore Imabari Castle.
Walk across the picturesque 5 wooden arches of Kintaikyo Bridge, stroll in the footsteps of the Samurai on The Old Tokaido Trail, sample Sake in a Sake Brewery and visit the UNESCO World Heritage listed Toshogu Shrine. Admire the Japanese and International Art displays at MIHO and MOA Art Museums, architectural masterpieces in their own right.
Drop in on Sogabessho Plum Blossom Festival, wander through the labyrinth of Akiyoshido Cave, visit the Atomic Bomb Museum and Memorial at Hiroshima and look for antiques and treasure in Japan’s Biggest Flea Market. We also take you up into Tokyo Sky Tree for a panoramic view over Tokyo and include a visit to the World’s Biggest Night Illumination boasting 13 million lights at Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park in Sasebo.
Entry fees to all listed attractions are included.

Something for everyone on an Ultimate Japan Experience

On this small group escorted tour you will be travelling with the people who created it. In an effort to provide you with an ultimate Japanese experience we have included a wide variety of sights, sounds, locations, crafts, art and architecture.
We will be looking back into the history and traditional culture of Japan and into what influences formed Japan into the country it is today. You will also see and experience aspects of modern Japan that make it a magnet for millions of visitors every year. By travelling around Japan at this time of year and avoiding the crowds of visitors, we are endeavoring to help you experience the tranquility of this charming country.
Some of our previous Ultimate Japan Experience Tour guests have considered this as a second honeymoon and others as a luxury adventure. No matter what you are interested in, we have tried to include something for everyone in this tour.
