Feature

  • Gifu & Takayama: Visit the historic sword-making town of Seki and try on a traditional kimono before exploring the paper lantern-lined streets of Mino. Stroll through Takayama’s charming old town and soak in the healing waters of Takayama’s natural onsen. Wander the snowy, storybook village of Shirakawago—one of Japan’s most treasured World Heritage sites.
  • Nagoya: Dive into the culture and cuisine of Nagoya with visits to Atsuta Jingu Shrine, Nagoya Castle, and Tokoname’s ceramic-lined footpaths. Enjoy shopping in lively neighborhoods like Osu and Sakae, with time to savor regional specialties and seasonal treats.
  • Okinawa: Discover a different side of Japan as you fly south to Okinawa. Reflect at Peace Memorial Park and the Himeyuri Museum, explore the royal legacy of Shuri Castle, and take in ocean views at scenic Manzamo. Visit the colorful Churaumi Aquarium and experience Ryukyu culture through hands-on crafts and local markets.
  • Culinary Experiences: Enjoy daily breakfasts, hearty local lunches, and flavorful dinners—from mountain cuisine in Gifu to island flavors in Okinawa. Dine at local favorites, including a multi-course welcome meal, Okinawan-style dinners, and hotel buffets featuring regional specialties.
  • Relaxed Travel Style:  Travel comfortably with a bilingual tour leader from Honolulu and expert local guide throughout Japan. Fly roundtrip with Japan Airlines, enjoy well-paced days with a balance of guided sightseeing and free time, and unwind with multi-night stays in each region—including rejuvenating onsen hotels and centrally located Okinawa resorts.
  • WiFi router rental included!
  • Experience the contrast of winter’s hush and island warmth on this immersive journey through Japan’s cultural heartlands. From the soothing hot springs of Takayama to the snow-draped charm of Shirakawago, discover a quieter side of Japan where tradition lingers and the pace gently slows. Then shift gears as you head south to Okinawa, where ocean breezes, vibrant markets, and historic castles invite you into a world of subtropical calm. With hands-on cultural experiences, locally inspired meals, and time to truly unwind, this tour offers a thoughtful way to reconnect—with Japan, and with yourself.
