Escorted Tours to Japan 2020 & 2021

Let us capture your imagination on a journey through the heart of Japan

From the neon-lit skylines of Shibuya to the ancient craftsmanship on display in Nara, history that is never to be forgotten can be found generously scattered across the country. Japan is yours to explore, passing the snow-capped Fuji-san on the shinkansen or taking a cable car ride across Ōwakudani, where the volcanic valley causes the landscape to change colour beneath you.

At Scenic, we carefully handpick each and every unforgettable excursion so that you can enjoy the illustrious landscapes and temporary nature of this charming country; where hanami (flower-viewing) during cherry blossom season and momijigari (autumn-leaf hunting) are just two ways in which this fleeting beauty is celebrated. Handpicked luxurious experiences are just one of the ways we set the standard for 5-star luxury touring in Japan.
