A bewitching blend of old and new, Japan takes you on a journey from timeless traditions to gleaming futurism. The country’s beautiful landscapes range from the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji to gorgeous cherry blossom gardens, while the history stretches for centuries. Discover feudal castles, the customs of the geisha and samurai, the WWII tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the modern rebirth into a land of astonishing technology. A Japan vacation with Trafalgar takes you from the neon skyscrapers of Tokyo to the historic Ameyoko Street Market, and from the high-speed bullet train to the ancient Buddhist temples of Kyoto. Meet a Tea Master and discover the art of the Japanese tea ceremony, and enjoy a kaiseki dinner in a traditional ryokan in the mountains. From learning how to make sushi, to sampling sake on the Edo-style streets of Takayama, we’ll reveal all the intriguing layers of Japan.

“We loved our Travel Director Kiko, who had an enormous 1. knowledge of Japanese history, 2. charm and kindness, and 3. organisational ability. We loved the traditional components, the pottery visit, drumming, and tea making. We enjoyed the company of the other guests and had ample opportunity to share meals, experiences and the highlights of the tour.”
- Terence, Classic Japan
“The tour was so much fun and informative. We’d never have been able to see or do as much on our own, it was so nice not to have to worry about details. Our Travel Director, Kazuko, was knowledgeable and tended to every detail. She explained Japanese customs and culture with reverence and sometimes with funny anecdotes. We really felt a bond with her by the end of our tour.”
