Description

The Golden Temple, Kyoto
The Kinkaku-ji Temple in Kyoto is among the most beautiful temples the world over. The grounds are maintained by what looks like a fine tooth comb, the sun light bounces off the golden hues of the temple in a myriad of ways, and the serene surroundings (although seen through the crowds) are a spectacular site to see.
Tokyo
Tokyo is a collection of neon lights, skyscrapers, colorful neighbourhoods, fashion, temples, tea houses, and almost everything in between. She’s a lively city, and only a few train stops feels like a world of difference. Stay for a few nights, see the sites, and then get lost trying to see more. Getting found is just as enjoyable.
Snow Monkeys

You’ve seen the images, and Japan is where they can be seen. Japanese macaques can often be found steaming in an outdoor bath in the Jiokudani Valley. Go in the winter for some great photos.

How many people will be on my trip?
Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travellers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website.
