JAPAN SEVEN NIGHT TOURJAPAN vs AUSTRALIA
Thursday 31st August 2017 Venue TBC Following a highly enjoyable, unfortunately not so successful on the pitch, tour to Thailand, we're proud to release our 2017 Japan Away Tour. This could be one of the biggest and best tours yet with qualification for Russia 2018 likely to be on the line.
Nippon, or the “Land of the Rising Sun”, is known to us as Japan. Its unique and complex culture make Japan a fascinating destination to visit. With its mix of ancient villages retaining strong traditions and ultra modern, high-tech cities, Japan is a country of contrasts. Trendy teenagers are parading futuristic fashions as you board your bullet train in Tokyo. Takayama offers beautiful mountain landscapes and Osaka is Japan’s foodie town. History is the attraction in Kyoto and Hiroshima. Enjoy tempura, teppanyaki, yakitori, or sashimi paired with warm sake or a cold Asahi or Sapporo. Try green tea or wasabi flavoured ice cream if you’re game! Experience a traditional onsen or a role play at a former geisha house to gain an understanding of this ancient tradition. Japan promises endless fascination and great memories. FLIGHT DETAILS Their are many options to fly to Osaka or Tokyo. Please contact Flight Centre Sports & Events agent Amelia (Amelia.Roth@flightcentre.com.au) to discuss the best flights for you. ITINERARY
