Takamatsu

Experience an in-depth exploration of Japanese gardens, culture, and cuisine. Beginning in Tokyo, we venture north and west to areas off the normal Western tourist route where we can enjoy the beautiful countryside, see lovely gardens and experience exotic cuisine. Guests will also have the opportunity to experience Japanese-style accommodations and warm up in one of several onsen (hot springs) along the way. Optional extension to Kyoto, a UNESCO World Heritage city.

Join Pacific Horticulture for this exploration of the must see highlights emphasizing the long history of horticultural tradition in Japan through a visit to some of the best gardens Japan has to offer while traveling through the landscape that has inspired garden designers for generations. We visit Tokyo, Hakone, Matsumoto, Takayama, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Awaji, Takamatsu, Kurashiki, Okayama, Matsue, and Osaka.

This tour will be escorted by Greg Graves of Old Goat Farm in Graham, WA. For complete information and availability, visit https://www.pacifichorticulture.org/tours/exploring-japan-with-pacific-horticulture/
