Festival Season: Japan is known for its colorful traditional festivals, and many of our itineraries were planned to coincide with some of the most popular celebrations.
Kyo-Yuzen Silk Painting: Dyeing was introduced to Japan in the 8th century and evolved with the cultural life of the people of Kyoto. This lovely tradition utilizes a variety of colors and yuzen dyeing techniques to dye kimonos in picturesque designs. While the craft continues to flourish in and around the Kyoto region, today’s craftsmen employ a yuzen design using paper patterns. Flavors of Japan: Enjoy the exquisite tastes of Japan — attend a tea ceremony in Shimizu, visit a shochu brewery in Kagoshima, partake in an oyster lunch in Kushiro and much more.
