Detailed Description
The ancient temples, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and the traditional tea ceremonies are important to Japan. When your flight lands at Narita Airport, your adventure will officially begin.

You will then dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant and experience all intricacies of Japanese cuisine. Lake Kawaguchi will provide you with an incredible view of Mt. Fuji from the vantage point of a cruise ship.
Oshino Hakkai is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is located at the base of Mt. Fuji. You will surely marvel at the lush forest that surrounds the mountain and the Shinto shrines that fill the area. In Kyoto, you will experience a traditional tea ceremony performed by a geisha. This ritual is very precise and requires many years to perform.
