Our cultural tours combine visits to famous cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara, with journeys through the countryside to catch a glimpse of hidden Japan. The itineraries are carefully selected to introduce visitors to the wealth of Japanese history and culture. We use small family-run inns, travel to villages and regions off the established tourist routes, and keep the group size small so your experience is more personal and memorable.
Each tour is lead by a qualified Japanese-speaking tour leader. We work with local Japanese guides to enhance the experience through their local knowledge of certain regions.
