Autumn is a great time to travel with colors so vivid, cooler temperatures & lesser crowd.
A return to Japan beckons with 6 nights in Kyushu – the southernmost of Japan’s main islands, 3 nights in ancient Takayama to view the natural beauty of the Japanese Alps & 3 nights in futuristic Tokyo to catch a glimpse of the changes that is to come.
