Join us for the trip of a lifetime that will immerse you in Japanese culture, history, and nature with enough time to actually enjoy the places that you visit.
Japan Autumn Package Tour Description
You will visit many of the absolute highlights of Japan such as traditional Asakusa in Tokyo, the Golden Pavillion in Kyoto, and the old streets of Takayama. These sights will leave you in awe of their incredible beauty. Besides the most popular sights, you will also see a much quieter side of Japan in lesser-known spots such as Suwa and Tsumago. It is here that you will get to know the more local version of Japan.
We will also visit the Autumn Leaves (‘momiji‘) Festival in Kawaguchiko, where tourists can enjoy the contrast of snow-capped Mount Fuji and bright colored leaves. Of course, there will be ample opportunity to taste Japan’s healthy, diverse, and delicious local cuisine throughout the tour. You will sample wagyu beef, local noodles, fresh seafood, and many more.

Jennifer M. – 2018 Autumn –- Overall I loved the tour and felt it gave me a good overview of Japan
We loved Kyoto with the Golden Pavillion and Gion the best. The hotel in Tokyo was really amazing, and I loved the Japanese food we had. Guide Kazu was very kind, helpful and friendly. We covered a lot of ground and saw a lot, and overall I loved the tour and felt it gave me a good overview of Japan.
Vanessa F. – 2018 Autumn –- The best were the food, Mt. Fuji and the geisha in Gion
The hotels and food were excellent and guide Hisakazu was the best! He was very attentive, knowledgeable and very kind. The sights were very good and full of culture. I really enjoyed our tour, if anything I wished we had a bit more time to see everything.
