2011 Tours to Japan

"You have not seen the world if you have not been to the Far East."

 We specialise in small group tours to Japan. Our tours coincide with the annual koi harvest and international koi show events in Japan. We cater for both the koi tourist who wants to buy outstanding koi at the best possible price AND those who care less about koi and want to explore the beauty, culture, sights and sounds of Japan. We provide a personal service tailored to your interests and requirements. 

We travel with outstanding Singapore Airlines, which means you can start and end your journey from either Johannesburg or Cape Town with the minimum amount of fuss and knowing that you and your baggage will be in the safe and secure hands of one of the best airlines in the world. It also means that you have an extendable stopover in Singapore where you can easily shuttle from the Changi airport to any spot on the island or simply 'shop till you drop' in Orchard Road. We fly with the Airbus A380, the largest passenger airliner in the world, whenever possible.
