Japan Tagalong
Embark on a 7-day retreat in Japan, where you will discover the perfect fusion of tradition and modernity. Explore Tokyo and its surroundings, visit temples, enjoy hot springs, participate in tea ceremonies and taste the exquisite local cuisine. Immerse yourself in Japanese culture while you relax and renew body and mind on a unique journey.
We invite you on a carefully planned tour of Tokyo and its small towns. We will take you to our favourite places, both traditional and ancient and ultra-modern and avant-garde, to eat, pray and explore Japanese style.
We carry Japan in our hearts, we've lived there for a long time! Sharing its hidden gems with you is a special privilege, and only for a select few (maximum 6 people). Get ready for temples, hot springs, sake and sembe, raku, rice and the majestic Fuji-san.
An interesting, balanced and fun tour.
