‘Lisa’s Japan tour was THE trip of a lifetime! It was fantastic. I went on my own and I was happy to share a room. I was paired up with a kindred spirit from another state which made the trip all that more enjoyable. The tour has a textile and food focus. Lisa is a beautiful soul who looks after you. She is full of facts and helpful hints to make your trip even more enjoyable. You get to visit great temples, geisha town and traditional gardens which provide essential Zen moments. Enjoy an amazing stay at Fuji-san and take a quick ride on the gondola up to the lookout to experience Mt Fuji in all its glory. The Tokyo Quilt Show, traditional markets and textile shops and of course, Nippori town are just a few of the textile shopping opportubities you get to visit and make purchases if you wish. You experience first hand, traditional crafts at shibori town, indigo dyeing, paper making and yuzen skills and you get to learn these from the masters and artisans. The accommodation is organised as part of the package and each one is so comfortable with trained staff ready to make you feel like a special guest. The tour presents you with hands-on experiences such as making traditional sushi, playing Japanese bingo, and learning traditional song and dance. You get the option to partake in a traditional Onsen. Celebrate the tour with a traditional Japanese degustation. Lisa’s Japan Tour is an extremely positive experience and it has left me wanting to go back to Japan again.’
