Sign up Early for Escorted Tours

• More people signing up early helps to keep a tour from cancelling (at least 10 to 12 people about 9 months prior to the departure date). Some agencies will cancel a tour that does not show much interest early so those signed up for it can begin making other plans.
• Airline reservations and purchases are made in the order of sign up.
• Early booking often brings discounts---up to $100 in the earliest instances.
• Of course, once you have reserved space on a tour, you have ample time to prepare yourself for your trip.

Best Time to Visit Japan

Japan is a destination for all seasons. But for most people the two favorite times of the year are spring and fall.

From late March to late May traveling from south to north the beautiful cherry blossoms create a beautiful setting to celebrate "beginnings." In Japan April is the start of the new business year, schools start their acadamic year and many embark on new adventures at this time. It is also a time for hanami (enjoying the cherry blossoms).

Fall is a great time to enjoy the colors of the leaves and fall festivals. Chrysanthemums, the emperor's favorite flower is the star of many fall celebrations. Parks and forests show off their fall colors at that time. The weather in fall is cool, crisp and inviting.

Winter brings the excitement of many snow festivals in the northern parts of Japan....especiallly in Hokkaido. Snow sculptures and carvings, drift ice cruises and snow play dominate the scene. You can hear the happy squeals of young and old as they enjoy the invigorating cold.

Hokkaido is the favored destination for summer when the southern part of Japan is hot and humid. From late June to August Hokkaido is springlike with fields of lavender and other flowers creating acres of bright colored patchwork. The National Parks in Hokkaido are alive with interesting flora and fauna, too.

Any seasons, anywhere, Japan is a fabulous destination. Culture, history, friendly people, delicious food, beautiful scenery and great shopping all combine to make Japan an unforgettable travel destination you'll want to visit again and again.
