See and ski Japan after the holidays, before the spring ’19 term begins. Awesome is an understatement when describing Japan! Travel during the winter break to the “Japanese Alps”, where you can ski or snowboard in the gorgeous landscape of Japan, or sample the culture on day trips to iconic sites. The trip will begin in Tokyo, where we’ll visit interesting places and enjoy “Electric Town” at night. Then we’ll travel to the Shiga Kogen area in Nagano Prefecture, where the Olympics were held. We’ll visit amazing temples in Nikko, then travel to Zao, another ski area. Learn about Japanese culture and art on the trip of a lifetime!
