Japan
For its crimson maple forests and colorful lantern festivals, Japan is one of the best vacation spots in October. Stay in an elegant ryokan (Japanese inn), climb Mount Fuji in complete solitude at sunrise, and dine with a sushi master in Tokyo. We can arrange private tea ceremonies, guided walks along ancient pilgrimage routes, and exclusive sword training sessions with Samurai masters. Time your journey with the vibrant Takayama Autumn Festival, soak in the sacred waters of a mountain onsen and drift down the Kumano River by boat.
