There's no travel experience in the world quite like the Kyoto cherry blossoms. The explosion of color attracts visitors from around the world. We’re going to experience this natural phenomenon through the lens of Wabi Sabi - a Japanese aesthetic of appreciating beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. We’ll headquarter ourselves in Kyoto, the center of Old Japan amongst the beautiful temples and zen gardens. We’ll strive to come away with both a once-in-a-lifetime experience as well as a deeper understanding of Japanese culture.

The trip officially starts on Monday April 3, but if you are traveling across an ocean to get to Tokyo, you may want to consider arriving a day early so you have time to relax and get acclimated to the local time zone. If you do decide to arrive early, please let us know and we will take care of booking your room for you.
We will have a zoom call about 6 weeks before the trip starts to discuss all that information and give you a packing list. Here is a great website that we love that will help you with packing and travel trips.
The mornings might start off on the cooler side, but the temps will rise during the day. Expect mid 60's. You might want to bring a light raincoat just in case.
