Japan Revealed is an exciting journey through the bright light cities, the mountainous terrains and paddy field plains, the spiritual temples, and the deep culture of this ancient nation. If you are a first timer or indeed a return visitor you will see parts of Japan that would simply not be possible to find on your own, without the knowledge and language behind you. You will take part in various cultural activities such as Authentic Tea Ceremony, Soba Noodle Making, Rice Paper Making, and even stay in a Temple with the chance to meditate alongside the local monks of Mt Koya and more. Places visited include the neon metropolitans of Tokyo and Osaka, the ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara, the spiritually rich Koyasan, the traditional Takayama, the timeless Gokayama and Shirakawago, the gardens of Kanazawa and the deep valleys of Matsumoto. English is not widely spoken in Japan, especially in the rural parts, and so our inclusion of a tour buddy will enhance the opportunities to meet with locals and join in the Japanese way of life along the way.
