Bus Tour Information

As winter draws to a close, our focus turns to the wonderful events of the Spring season. For this outing, we will visit a country district getaway known as Nagatoro. This should give everyone a well earned break from the city so that we all can enjoy the beautiful flora and fauna of Nagatoro. The trip is not limited to viewing cherry blossoms, there are also boat rides, rafting and kayaking available. This trip is only a few hours from the city so let's spend a day enjoying Nagatoro's exquisite Cherry Blossoms.

This is the itinerary for the outing:

1. Visit a Japanese Sake brewery and store house.
2. Drive through a canopy of hanging cherry blossoms
3. Lunch (Tendon) at a Japanese restaurant.
4. Main attraction- a boat ride on Arakawa River
5. Visit a historical shrine - Takara Tozan shrine.
