BEAT THE RUSH WITH WENDY WU TOURS
Japan has long been a unique and intriguing destination, a place of rich timeless culture and age-old tradition fused with a modernity that’s fast-paced and vibrant. Its reopening after nearly three years is 􏰀􏰁􏰀􏰀’s biggest travel headline and offers an opportunity for travellers like no other.
What first comes to mind when you think of Japan? Geisha. Sushi. Mount Fuji. Just some of the many things that this archipelago is famous for.
Having been closed off from the world for centuries, Japan developed a very distinct culture that still flourishes today, a fascinating mix of traditions, beliefs and legends. Here, ancient temples and traditional garb are often seen metres from the thoroughly modern – unique fashion, shining skyscrapers and super-fast trains. Throw in the fabulous food, natural beauty and friendliness of its people and you’ve got most of the reasons why Japan is one of the world’s most popular destinations to explore.
Right now, Japan’s nature is flourishing, its attractions quieter than they have been for years, its cities
and sights reclaimed, locals ready to reconnect with the wider world and welcome back visitors with warmth and hospitality. Before all those with Japan at the top of their bucket-list are ready to book, this is the very best time to explore, to wander Kyoto’s temples
in peace, to gaze on Mount Fuji at its tranquil best, to explore Tokyo with just the locals, to see the country at its most authentic.
As the UK’s number 1 Japan specialist, we’ve long been preparing for this moment. We not only operated the very first tour to arrive in Japan from the UK in July, we’ve also got plenty
of dates ready to go in September, timed perfectly to enjoy the autumn colours. So if you’ve got customers who want to travel as soon as possible, we’ve got you covered. Cherry Blossom 2023 is already booking up with those raring to go and enjoy an extra magical experience, but we’ve added more dates to meet the demand. Plus, we’ve now got 2024 Cherry Blossom dates ready to book too.
As with all of our tours, our holidays to Japan are fully-inclusive - all flights, accommodation, touring and meals are included, all escorted by one of our excellent National Escorts, an English- speaking native with an in-depth knowledge of their country. On our tours we aim to not only showcase the
very best of Japan but to fully immerse our travellers in the local life and vibrant culture too, for a well-rounded overview of what makes Japan unique and magical. Adding a range of cultural experiences - from sake tasting and soba noodle making, to tea ceremonies and Zen meditation sessions - only adds to that immersion.
It’s time for Japan to reclaim its place as a top global travel destination – Wendy Wu Tours are ready to help your customers get there before the rush!
While Wendy Wu Tours are known for Asia tours, did you know we also have South America, the Middle East and Europe in our portfolio? No matter the destination, our travellers can expect the same excellent value, knowledge and passion that they have come to know and love us for.
