Spring – known as haru -- is an ideal time to visit Japan when cherry trees erupt in a stunning display of blossom. Crowds gather under the best trees for traditional hanami – or cherry blossom viewing -- parties.
The best time to witness this spectacular sight is at the end of March and beginning of April. Why not join a Japan Travelogue 10 night Nakasendo tour. Starting in Tokyo we then head to the Kiso valley in central Japan, where we walk from village to village through beautiful countryside along the ancient Nakasendo road. We end our trip in the old imperial capital, Kyoto. Along the way, we stay in traditional Japanese inns, many of which have been run by the same family for generations.
Alternatively, try our 14 day Highlights of Japan tour. In addition to stays in Tokyo and Kyoto and three nights walking the Nakasendo Way, we also visit Kamakura, Hakone, Nara, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
