Enjoy a unique evening at a Japanese "ochaya" or introduction-only tea house for a private dinner with geisha entertainment. An ochaya only accepts guests through an introduction from its trusted clients. This experience will take you back in time and is so special that most Japanese do not even have the opportunity to try in their lifetimes!

Traveling to Japan during March and April can be very expensive and the crowds overwhelming (in Kyoto especially). Why not sojourn to Japan right after Golden Week ends in early May and enjoy a beautiful and less hectic time to be in-country.. Warm days and comfortable evenings make it a great time to go, plus you'll be avoiding rainy season which typically begins mid-June. I would say the same holds true for October travel vs the peak autumn foliage times of mid to Late November!

Rural and agricultural Nara is one of the most timeless retreats in Japan. Discover its soft rolling plains, traditional towns, and ancient walking paths. Take in the sweeping vistas of beautiful mountain ranges and rice terraces in the Soni Highlands. Visit Murou-ji Temple where you can climb 700 steps to reach its impressive five-storied pagoda, and enjoy hiking in Akame, a beautiful and forested area with 48 waterfalls!

In 2019, this peaceful 1-2 day retreat into the mountains of Nara will continue to be a wonderful option for those looking to get away. Spend a magical evening or two at luxurious rice terrace villa Sasayuri-Ann and enjoy some very special experiences in an intimate setting.

Beyond its breathtaking scenery, the best of Nara is its wonderful people. Meet a fascinating 25th generation craftsman whose family has made tea whisks for Japanese tea ceremony for over 500 years. You will love his demonstration of how these whisks are made by hand-carving bamboo.
