We have some fabulous trips planned and details will out to you in the next week. which will include the Cherry Blossom, some people are already registered for our programmes  for 2018.

Cherry Blossom viewing is known as Hanami  Season, and the Japanese have Hanami Parties where people  sit and eat picnics under the Cherry Trees that must be lovely….

If you want to see the Cherry Blossoms then the best time to go is Spring time, every year Cherry Blossoms first appear in Southern Japanese city of Okinawa and then move northwards to Hokkaido by early May. Early April is the peak time to view the Cherry Blossoms in many cities but of course it is down to the Weather and planning the exact time of full bloom can be difficult.

Another amazing tour is the Robot Cabaret shows in Tokyo, which is an evening at Robot Restaurant in Kabukicho’s red light district, this is a spectacular show including Robots, Samurias and dinosaurs. Another “must see” is Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and the Bullet Train, on this tour your day will start early with pick ups from Keio Plaza Hotel. It is a 2.5 hour scenic drive to Mt Fuji which is Japan’s highest mountain and well worth a visit.
