Dear Virginia Tech Alumni and Friends,

Travel with us on a special 13-day journey throughout Japan. Your small group will discover the superb art, remarkable history, exquisite cuisine, and stunning landscapes that render Japan a nation of many wonders.

Beginning in Tokyo, you’ll spend two full days exploring Japan’s capital. From Tokyo, travel to Mt. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park to experience the world’s most revered volcano, then continue to Atami for an overnight stay in a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. Take a bullet train to historic Takayama in the Japanese Alps, where you’ll attend a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, then discover culturally rich Kanazawa. Your journey concludes with three nights in Kyoto, where you visit the Temple of the Golden Pavilion and Nijo Castle and explore Nishiki Market. An optional 3-day/2-night post-tour extension to Hiroshima, the “City of Peace,” lets you discover a city reborn from World War II’s atomic destruction.

We are pleased to share this departure with alumni from Emory University. Space is limited to 24 guests in total from both schools, and will fill quickly. Please call today to reserve your place!

Sincerely,

Kathleen Green Assistant Director of Travel Programs Virginia Tech Alumni Association

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

Day 2: Arrive Tokyo Upon arrival in Japan’s financial, commercial, and political capital, we transfer to our hotel. As guests’ arrival times may vary, we have no scheduled activities or meals planned.

Day 3: Tokyo After a briefing about the journey ahead, we set out to discover a small part of this amazing city that covers a staggering 840 miles. Our sightseeing features the Meiji Shrine, a peaceful enclave of Shinto temples and gardens. We also visit the gallery of pre- eminent calligrapher Koshun Masunaga, where we learn about this ancient art of artistic writing and browse the collection. Our tour ends in Ginza, Tokyo’s famed shopping, dining, and entertainment district, where we can stay to explore as we wish or return to our hotel for an afternoon at leisure. Tonight, we gather for a welcome dinner at a local restaurant. B,D

Day 4: Tokyo Our tour of Tokyo continues this morning at the Imperial Palace, surrounded by moats and ramparts and home of the Imperial Family. Here we visit the East Gardens, part of the innermost circle of defense of the historic Edo Castle that once stood here. We continue on to the Buddhist Asakusa Kannon, Tokyo’s oldest temple (c. 645 ce), and the ad-jacent Nakamise shopping arcade, dating to the 17th century. Last, we visit the Tokyo National Museum, housing an extensive collection of art and antiquities from Japan and other Asian countries. This afternoon is free for independent exploration; lunch and dinner are on our own in this city with endless dining options. B

Day 5: Tokyo/Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park/Atami Japan’s pastoral side is on tap as we leave Tokyo for 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. We learn about environ-mental and conservation efforts on the mountain at the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Center, then enjoy a relaxing cruise on Ashi Lake, with Mt. Fuji in the background. Leaving the park, we travel to the town of Atami 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

InsIder’s Japan13 days from $6,184 total price from Los Angeles($5,795 air & land inclusive plus $389 airline taxes and fees)

I t’s a land of delicate art and bustling commerce, of rich traditions and dizzying modernity; a jumble of sights, sounds, and tastes that for visitors are truly

foreign – and truly fascinating. This well-crafted tour features the highlights of Tokyo and Kyoto, engages us in local life, and takes us off the beaten path to the lovely historic cities of Takayama and Kanazawa.

Tour membership limited to 24 alumni and friends
