She's Back!

Our fabulous Art Islands & Iya Valley tour is back again for the last time in 2027.

10 amazing nights starting in Tokyo, then moving to Takamatsu, our base for discovering the Art Islands of Naoshima and Teshima.

Fom here, we journey into the remote, mountainous Iya Valley - about as far removed from the neon signs of Tokyo as you can get. We spend two idyllic nights in an onsen ryokan before returning to Takamatsu.
This is such a stunning trip - filled with art, architecture, gardens, amazing cusine, nature and soaking.

EDO TO EIHEIJI: A Journey Through the Japanese Alps.
2 spaces have become available for our November 2026 departure.
08-19 November, 2026 - 11 Nights

Right now, the JPY is at its lowest level in almost 40 years, which means your dollar (AUD, NZD, USD) goes so much further. It is the perfect time to visit: effectively making Japan one of the most affordable and high-value overseas destinations for many of us.

And, of course, this means no guilt at all when we purchase divine handmade ceramics, textiles, lacquerware, and other artisan works as we travel from Tokyo through the Japanese Alps, visiting Matsumoto, Takayama and Kanazawa. No guilt at all!

What you find in Arita!
This is a ceramic bag. Yep - all ceramic.
And divine.
Hand painted. Hand crafted. Behind glass.
Apparently (according to my Child who screamed when she saw the photos), it is a Hermes Kelly.
And priced accordingly!!
