2013 / 2014 Group Tour Calendar

Summer in Japan

Summer is a great time to be in Japan with a range of festivals taking place including the Sado Earth Festival, Fuji Rock and the more traditional summer time 'bon' festivals throughout the country.

Summer is also the season to explore Japan's great outdoors. Challenge a Mt. Fuji climb on our Tokaido Trail tour.

With the yen cheaper than it has been for a long time, Japan is becoming more and more affordable. How about a family trip this year?

Alternatively, follow up the cultural highlights on any of our Small Group Tours or Tailored Trips with a relaxing stay on the beaches of Okinawa.

Make 2013 the year you visit Japan!
