Windchimes and icy colors are essential in summer, then come fall when a host of goodies are harvested one after the other. Autumn in Japan is magnificent, it may even be more visually stunning then the cherry blossoms of spring, maybe.


The leaves of the maple and ginko trees turning red and yellow in concert, presents you with beautiful scenery at every turn.


Come, join us as we explore the ultramodern and traditional sides of Southern Japan on this unique and unforgettable ten-day experience. We begin in the port city of Kobe, opened to the world as an international port in 1868, following the lifting of Japan's nearly 230-year-long policy of seclusion. From here, the World Heritage site of Himeji Castle and Kurashiki’s historic canal area dating back to the Edo Period.


It’s only the beginning as we journey on to the picturesque port town of Tomonoura, with its endearing old-fashioned fishing townscape. nestled in its half-moon bay overlooking the Seto Inland Sea National Park, Tomonoura has been inspiring poets and artists for centuries.


From here, off to Hiroshima, a city whose tragic history is brightened by its present-day vitality and not far away, the island of Miyajima, home to Japan’s most iconic sight: the floating torii of Itsukushima Shrine.

If experiencing traditional Japanese culture is on your list, Kyoto and Nara are unmissable and lastly Osaka, Japan's third-largest city, where things move a bit faster, and people are a bit brasher. It packs more color than most with its dazzling neon, vivid storefronts, and its unofficial slogan, kuidaore ('eat until you drop').
