Japan | A Couples' Travel Circle to Japan: Celebrating Love and Culture in the Land of the Rising Sun
Tour Sponsor: Shasta and Greg Nelson
This is a very special Travel Circle led by the CEO and Founder of GirlFriend Circles, Shasta Nelson, and her partner, Greg Nelson.
Japan is home to an enchanting blend of rich culture, world-class cuisine, advanced technology, breathtaking landscapes, and amazing hospitality. It’s truly the ultimate destination for travelers seeking a unique and unforgettable experience, whether you’re exploring ancient temples, savoring sushi in bustling markets, or experiencing the serenity of traditional tea ceremonies.
Our 12-day journey begins in Tokyo, where we will explore all of the magic of Japan’s capital for 3 days. Next, we will spend 4 days in Kanazawa, a city treasured for being the center of traditional Japanese arts and culture. The remainder of our adventure will continue in Kyoto, where we will be exploring ancient temples and continue to learn more about the history and traditions of Japan! And what better way to experience such beautiful cultures and unique experiences than with your loved one?
All adult couples welcome, no matter your relationship status. The couples who will enjoy this trip the most tend to value learning, connecting with others, and experiencing as much as they can in a country. Our trip will most likely be made up of about 5-7 couples–of all ages!
