Twelve days through Japan at the peak of sakura season. We start in Tokyo, take the Shinkansen to Hakone for Mount Fuji views, then wind through the Japanese Alps to Takayama and Kanazawa before ending in Kyoto. Private tea ceremony, sake brewery tours, a night in a traditional ryokan, and hanami picnics under the cherry blossoms.
