Happy Travel – Japan tour
My First Japan Tour as a Tour Leader! I was a Tour Leader for the Japan tour for the Art Gallery of NSW and we travelled in Japan for 11 days in December 2024! We were very lucky with the weather. Warm and no rain. Walking in Tokyo and visiting many galleries were enjoyable in warm weather; we also got to see the beautiful Mt. Fuji. It was warm most of the time, but we had snow for a short time and some of us watched the snow falling from the onsen bath - hot springs in Hakone. I was very fortunate to have a group of fantastic people and wonderful local tour guide, Mayumi. 11days in Tokyo-Hakone-Kurashiki and we visited many galleries and we enjoyed the Tokyo architecture walking tour.
