Dear Friends,

Travel with us on a special 13-day journey that promises to dazzle your senses and delight your sen-sibilities. Superb art, remarkable history, exquisite cuisine, stunning landscapes, and unparalleled innovation await your discovery in this land of rich traditions and dizzying modernity.

Starting in Tokyo, we’ll have two full days to discover Japan’s capital. We visit some of Tokyo’s top sights such as the Shinto Meiji Shrine, Imperial Palace, and Buddhist Asakusa Kannon, Tokyo’s oldest temple. From here, we visit Mt. Fuji-Hakone Isu National Park to experience its namesake volcano, then continue to Hakone for an overnight stay in a ryokan, a traditional Japa-nese inn. We take a bullet train to historic Takayama in the Japanese Alps, where we explore and take a cooking class, followed by culturally-rich Kanazawa, with overnight stays in both locales. Our journey concludes with three nights in Kyoto where we visit the Temple of the Golden Pa-vilion and Nijo Castle, and explore the ancient capital of Nara, renowned for its shrines, temples, and deer that roam Nara Park. Discover Hiroshima, the “City of Peace,” on an optional 3-day/2-night post-tour extension to this city reborn from World War II’s atomic destruction and now a modern and cosmopolitan urban center.

Space on this exclusive FGCU tour is limited to just 24 guests. We expect this tour to fill quickly, so please call now to reserve your space!

Sincerely,

John Guerra Director, Continuing Education & Renaissance Academy

Day 1: Depart U.S. for Tokyo, Japan

Day 2: Arrive in Tokyo After arriving in Japan’s financial, commercial, and political capital this eve- ning, we transfer to our hotel where we learn about the journey ahead at a briefing with our tour director.

Day 3: Tokyo We spend the morning touring this amazing city that comprises 23 wards and covers a staggering 840 miles. We focus on a smaller area as we visit some of Tokyo’s top sights, including Shinto Meiji Shrine, a peaceful enclave of temples and gardens; and historic Imperial Palace, sur-rounded by moats and ramparts, and home of the Imperial Family. Next we visit Tokyo’s oldest temple, Buddhist Asakusa Kannon, followed by the Nakamise Shopping arcade. This afternoon is at leisure; tonight we enjoy a welcome dinner at a local restaurant. B,D

Day 4: Tokyo Today’s touring includes a visit to the gallery of preeminent calligrapher Koshun Masunaga, where we learn about this ancient art of artistic writing and browse the collection. Then we embark on a motorcoach tour of Ginza, Tokyo’s famed shopping, dining, and entertainment district boasting the most expensive real estate in all Japan. Our tour ends in Ginza, with the remainder of the day free to explore Ginza’s department stores, boutiques, and galleries as we wish; or to set off in a new direction, perhaps to a kabuki performance or judo demonstration. Our tour director will advise the best way to return to the hotel. B

Day 5: Tokyo/Mt. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park/Hakone Japan’s pastoral side is on tap as we leave Tokyo for Mt. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Here sits imposing Mt. Fuji, a dormant volcano (it last erupted in 1707) with a perfectly symmetrical cone that rises to 12,388 feet. The mountain’s majesty is breathtaking, as artists and writers have attested for centuries. We take a coach ride where, weather permitting, we’ll enjoy breath- taking panoramic views; then we descend for a relaxing cruise on scenic Ashi Lake. Leaving the

park, we travel to the town of Hakone where we spend the night at a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn where we take off our shoes upon entering, enjoy a Japanese-style Kaiseki dinner, and sleep on a futon. B,D

Day 6: Hakone/Takayama Today we travel first by bullet train then by Wide View Hida express train to lovely Takayama in the Japanese Alps, con- sidered one of the country’s most attractive towns with its 16th-century castle and old-style buildings. Our explorations center on three narrow streets in the San-machi-suji district where, in feudal times, merchants lived amidst the authentically preserved small inns, teahouses, and sake breweries. This afternoon we attend a traditional Japanese tea ceremony here, an historic, ritualized ceremony of form, grace, and spirituality. B,D

Comprising buildings re locat ed from authentic villages nearby that were razed for a dam, the village is also a vibrant community whose residents work together to preserve the unique traditional architecture here known as Gassho style. Late this afternoon we reach the castle town of Kanazawa, an alluring coastal city that survived the ravages of World War II. B,L

We also see Ishikawa Gate, the only remaining section of the town’s original castle; Hakukokan, a museum celebrating the art and craft of gold leaf technology; and the Higashi Chayagai teahouse and geisha area. Our last stop is the Nagamachi Samurai district, where the ruling family’s samurai warriors lived. B,D
