Japan, with approximately 70% of its land covered by mountains, is home to thermal hot springs or “onsen”. Over 2,000 hot spring areas are found around the country, ranging from large resorts to quaint inns – ryokans and minshukus – isolated in the mountains. For this reason, Japan is a perfect year-round destination.
“Japan has always been perceived as a great destination in the spring and summer months. But the fall and winter months are equally conducive to touring the country”, says Doug Vogl, Goway’s Asia Product and Marketing Manager.
“Fall and winter is my favourite time to travel to Japan because there are fewer crowds. Our amazing Japan program line-up allows travel during these months to the same destinations one would enjoy in the spring or summer. The recent valuation of the Canadian dollar has made Japan a more popular destination for Canadian travellers as well.”
Goway’s Japan In Depth is an 8 Day tour combining the cities of Tokyo, Hakone, Takayama, Kanazawa and Kyoto for as low as $2600.
One of the most popular programs is Goway’s Classic Japan. This traditional 8-day itinerary combines Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Hiroshima for $2240. This also features the overnight in Hakone which allows the weary traveller an amazing hot springs experience.
