Takayama Festival | Hidden Village - Cherry Blossom Seasonal Tour
$4,780 per person
For over 400 years, the people of Takayama have gathered twice a year to celebrate one of Japan's greatest festivals. Carved floats, ancient drums and cherry blossoms — all converging in a mountain town that time has never left behind.
What follows is Japan at its most refined. UNESCO-listed thatched villages frozen in time. Gold leaf hammered by hand in Kanazawa. Then Kyoto — where Maiko dine in a historic villa once belonging to a Prime Minister, and the vermillion gates of Fushimi Inari stretch into the hills.
From mountain festival to ancient capital. This is the Japan you have to be part of. Tokyo to Kyoto. Cherry blossom season.
