Meals on Board

Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner

Take a morning drive to Ashikaga Flower Park to experience the brilliance of one of Japan’s favourite flowers, the wisteria, also known as the fuji flower. Immerse yourself in the magic and ethereal air created by the 80-metre long wisteria tunnels and enchanting LED displays. End the day in the best possible way as you indulge in a hot spring bath at an onsen resort in Nagano.

Bonus

Enjoy seasonal fruit picking at Ashikaga Fruit Farm – strawberries (April to May), blueberries (June to August) and grapes (September).

Breakfast/Alpine Set Lunch/ Seafood Sashimi Dinner

After breakfast, make your way to the spectacular Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route that cuts through the Northern Japan Alps linking the Toyama with the Nagano prefectures. Take in glorious views of the exquisite surrounding vistas as you make your way via cable car, tunnel trolley bus and ropeway to the majestic 20-metre high snow corridor at Murodo. This evening, treat yourself to a relaxing spring bath at a Toyama ryokan-style resort hotel.

Note

The visit to the snow corridor is subject to weather conditions. The opening period is from 17 April to 10 June as announced by the local authorities and subject to revision without prior notice. 

Breakfast/Tobanyaki Lunch/Dinner

After breakfast, proceed to Shirakawa-go village, a unique UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its traditional 250-year-old gassho-zukuri farmhouses with steep thatched roofs that resemble two hands folded in prayer. Next, travel to the riverside town Gujo Hachiman with its pristine waterways that still form the backbone of the town today. Then, find out how this town is Japan’s leading producer of food replicas as you roll up your sleeves and try your hand at making your own food replicas as souvenirs (wax sushi and tempura). You will also get to enjoy your choice of two complimentary local snacks.

Breakfast

This morning, embark on a leisurely drive to the Mount Fuji region where you may be able to catch a glimpse of Japan’s highest and most popular mountain, the iconic Mt Fuji, before heading for a spot of retail therapy at Gotemba Premium Outlets. Go ahead and pamper yourself at the galore of international brands and specialty stores found here. As you bask in the aftermath of the shopping buzz, make your way (with your spoils in tow) to Tokyo for a different kind of buzz; one of the cool, urban, neon-lit variety.

Note:

Gotemba Premium Outlet will be replaced with Fuji Shiba-Sakura Festival site visit from 17April – 29May.

Breakfast

Today, let the picturesque flowers of the Hitachi Seaside Park brighten your morning. Don’t miss the park’s iconic nemophila and other seasonal flowers like the narcissus, tulips and kokia bushes as they take turns to bathe the park with various brilliant colours of red, green and blue. Then, stop by a local shopping and entertainment complex, Fashion Cruise Newport Hitachinaka, before heading back to Tokyo’s foremost shopping, entertainment and business district, Shinjuku. Lose yourself in the multitude of major departmental stores and shopping malls, or simply soak up the vibrant energy in this bustling area.

Breakfast

After breakfast, you will transfer to the airport for your flight home.
