Welcome

Welcome to Japan Journeys, or Yokoso as they say in Japan.
We are dedicated Japan specialists and the number one provider of Bonsai and Manga Tours to Japan.

Please take a look through our pages and discover more about the enigma that is Japan. From the exquisite countryside to the neon buzz of Tokyo, Japan has something to offer everyone. Both traditional and modern, the land of the rising sun continues to fascinate and excite visitors. Our Gardens of Japan tour will delight those of you with green fingers. Whilst our Quilters Tour to Japan will be just the trip for those of you with a creative eye.

Whether you want a city vacation or a more relaxed holiday sampling onsen (hot springs) and ryokan (Japanese inns), Japan Journeys can arrange the trip for you.

And if you're thinking about working for a while in the most foreign country in the world then a gap year in Japan could be for you. An encounter with Japan is an encounter with the ultra-modern and the traditional.
