NĀRAT has a Japan educational fam taking place during Cherry Blossom season, synonymous with the country’s culture.

NĀRAT’s Ultimate Japan – Cherry Blossom Fam takes place March 19-29 and the 11-day program introduces travel agents to the essence of Japan, in midst of Sakura season, visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe, Nagoya, Himeji, Mt. Fuji, Nara, Hakone and Osaka among other leading Japanese locations.

Agents will explore futuristic and traditional Tokyo, learn about Anime, sample authentic Japanese sushi, visit ancient castles, 1,000-year-old temples with Zen gardens and interact with geishas in historic Kyoto.
