Our Japan Specialist Recommends
“Our 12-day Wild Japan in Winter holiday goes in search of wintering Steller’s Sea Eagles, flocks of dancing Japanese Cranes, Least Auklet, Ancient Murrelet and other seabirds, fish-catching Blakiston’s Fish Owls and Japanese Macaques ‘bathing’ in their favourite hot springs. In addition to enjoying a stunning variety of wildlife this tour takes in some of Japan’s unique culture and scenery: we will travel by bullet train, visit Buddhist temples, stay in traditional ryokan, and sample the country’s delicious cuisine!”
