Details

Mark your calendar and get ready for an exciting adventure in Japan! Join us for an 8-day, 7-night tour beginning in Tokyo/Narita all the way to tropical Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost island. We’ll explore the rich culture and beautiful landscapes of Japan, all while warming up for the AcroYoga Japan Festival.

The journey will include a colorful menu of Japanese environments—big cities and small villages, parks, museums, gardens, hot springs, classical and contemporary culture—with an emphasis on off-the-beaten path experiences and a few of Japan’s weirder attractions (known to aficionados as “chin-spots”). We’ll sample Japan’s diverse cuisine and stay in beautiful and sometimes quirky guest houses, inns, and hostels. Your package includes accommodations*, transportation**, two meals a day,  a group of new friends to explore with, movement training and play, and a Japanese interpreter to guide our adventures.

Along the way, we’ll offer optional movement activities including AcroYoga, Slackline Yoga, handstands and yoga, as well as mini-lessons on Japanese language and culture. The tour will culminate in Okinawa, the “Hawaii” of Japan, where you will have the opportunity to join in the AcroYoga Japan Festival and enjoy all the training, connection and inspiration that comes with it. By that time, your body will be in gear, you’ll know how to get around in Japan, and you’ll have a new group of friends to play with at the festival and beyond.

This is the perfect opportunity to warm up for the festival, explore Japan with a group of acrobats, and experience the beauty and wonder of this amazing country. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

We can’t wait to see you in Japan!

Traveling in Japan with visible tattoos can be challenging due to cultural associations with the Yakuza (organized crime) and many public places such as hot springs, swimming pools, and gyms prohibiting entry to people with tattoos. However, attitudes towards tattoos are slowly changing, and it is becoming more acceptable in some areas, particularly among younger generations.
