JAPAN

 Through the Torii Gate

With Simon Gentry 

06 April - 23 April 2009

What is Japan? A slender group of 3,000 plus islands; the second most powerful economy in the world; the scourage of Southeast Asia; the only country to suffer an atomic attack; the land of geishas and bonsai; of castles,shrines and gardens; or of cars, computers, cameras;  the home of Zen meditiation or of crass materialism? And the people? Are they the shy, diffident, descendents with a homogeneous culture or an aggressive, hard-bargaining superpower. Come and join us and see for yourself.   Tour is Sold Out. Waitlist Places Available
