Japan

Give your mind a workout on an educational tour of Japan, where age-old etiquette blends with cutting-edge robotics, AI-powered futures and the 24/7 hustle of the world’s third largest economy. While feeding your mind, you’ll also feast on world-class food – from delectable handmade sushi, to nourishing bowls of ramen and slippery soba noodles. 

Travel in Japan is efficient and easy, thanks to affordable public transport and fast bullet trains. In the morning, learn about Japan’s emperors and samurai warriors from inside an imperial palace or feudal castle. In the afternoon, muse on rapid industrialisation and urban sprawl atop a Tokyo skyscraper. And in the evening, enjoy a sunset in Gion while hearing the history and myths surrounding Japan’s geisha. 

Keen to expand your knowledge of art and culture? Stop by contemporary art museums, galleries and design studios. Or develop your creative practice by experiencing traditional Japanese arts like origami, woodblock printing, calligraphy, pottery, manga and more.
