In the mountains, parks along riverfronts and city street, in school yards…..

 

From late March through the entire month of April, it’s the season of the cherry that tinges Japanese islands in delicate shades of pink. The blossoms that signal the end of winter and the arrival of spring have more than a symbolic presence in Japan’s floral culture.

 

A long, long time ago, the cherry tree was revered as a “dwelling of the gods”; when in full bloom, people offered sake and food to its splendor in exchange for a good harvest. Today every village, town and city lets business-as-usual slide to indulge in days of hanami, flower viewing parties, with friends, family, and co-workers.

 

Of course, there's far more to cherry blossoms. Join us as we are off to the region of Kyushu exploring Hakata, Yanagawa, Karatsu, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Kirishima, Kagoshima and Beppu. This tour includes a ferry ride, bullet train, two onsen nights, a complete free last day for shopping, and so much more!

 

It is the perfect balance, sightseeing with free time for shopping. Do leave room in your bags for those favorite omiyages!
