For just a few weeks every year, Japan blooms into vibrant pink as the nation's cherry blossom trees (also known as sakura) flower, creating stunningly beautiful scenes across the county. Delight in the fleeting beauty of these delicate flowers that frame the historic temples and towns perfectly. From snow-capped Mount Fuji to the traditions that include Geisha girls and samurai warriors. This is a Japanese experience you will not want to miss out on.
Uncover Tokyo with a Two Night Stay
You'll never forget a visit to the sensory explosion that is Tokyo. Capital of Japan, this is a city where you'll find centuries-old culture jostling for a position next to cutting-edge technology - a fabulous blend of history and modernity that has to be seen to be believed. To get a feel for Tokyo's natural beauty, head to Yoyogi Park, where cherry blossoms are resplendent in spring. Close to the Yoyogi Park is the Meiji Jingu Shrine, established in 1920 and dedicated to Emperor Meiji who helped to open Japan up to the west. As impressive as anything else is its 40-foot gate, made of 1,500 year old cypress. At the main shrine buildings, you may show respect by bowing twice, clapping your hands twice, making a wish then bowing once more. You may be lucky enough to catch a traditional Japanese wedding procession.
