Japan: Tradition and Innovation

Limited Availability - Reserve your space today!

Join us on a special journey to the Land of the Rising Sun as we explore the singular culture of Japan — a world apart from the West. Begin in the bustling city of Tokyo before traveling by bullet train to Kanazawa, one of the best-preserved castle towns of the Edo period. Visit Hiroshima’s Atomic Dome and Peace Park before continuing by bullet train to Kyoto. In Koyasan, enjoy a walking tour of Mt. Koya and an overnight stay at a monastery. Continue on to Nara before concluding your journey in the lively metropolis of Osaka.

 

With our world-class guide by our side, we will explore traditional Japanese crafts, experience unique cultural ceremonies, and hear from journalists, politicians, and leaders in the arts about both pressing contemporary issues and millennia-old traditions. These fascinating individuals will offer valuable insight into this richly complex and often enigmatic country.

Highlights include:

  • Meetings with scholars, artists, and human rights leaders in Osaka and Tokyo
  • Guided visit to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
  • Visit to Gokayama, a scenic and secluded mountain village famous for its traditional architecture and designated UNESCO World Heritage site
  • Exploration of the enchanting city of Kyoto
  • A temple stay in Koyasan, with a morning service and private tour with a resident
  • Immersive experiences in traditional crafts, modern art museums, and local food culture
