A s far as Japanese seasons go, the sakura (cherry blossom) makes spring the star of the show, however, the koyo (changing leaves) are just as striking and often overlooked. Unlike the transient sakura that only last for weeks in each place, the autumn leaves take their time to travel through the country over a couple of months, transforming the green landscape into warm shades of red and gold. Discover Japan this autumn with the Japan experts. With a team who have lived in Japan and arranged thousands of small group tours and self-guided travel, Inside Japan Tours know the country (and the seasons) better than anyone. Inside Japan offers a range of small group tours (maximum 14 people) departing in October and November this year: Hidden Japan is a classic grade tour (12 nights from £3,795* excl. flights) and visits favourite destinations such as Kyoto and Hiroshima but also goes off the beaten track. Takamatsu is home to one of Japan’s best gardens which is at its best in autumn. Spirit of Honshu is a superior tour providing a good first-time introduction to Japan with stays in Tokyo and Kyoto as well as at a traditional ryokan inn with private outdoor hot spring baths (8 nights from £4,350* excl. flights). For an extra special trip this autumn, Inside Japan can arrange a private garden party with a geisha on Luxury Japan . The tour travels around Japan’s top destinations with stays in the finest hotels, and also includes a sake evening with an expert in Tokyo (10 nights from £8,950* excl. flights). Alternatively, Inside Japan can arrange a self-guided trip to suit any interests with a range of different accommodation grades. The 13-night Autumn Splendour self-guided itinerary is designed to showcase the best of the main island during this season and is fully tailorable.
