Dear UCLA Alumni and Friends,

We invite you to join us on an exclusive 13-day UCLA Alumni Travel journey throughout Japan. Here you’ll discover the superb art, remarkable history, exquisite cuisine, and stunning landscapes that render Japan a nation of many wonders. Enhance your understanding of this fascinating country in the company of Mariko Tamanoi, professor in the UCLA Department of Anthropology.

Beginning in Tokyo, spend two full days exploring Japan’s capital. From Tokyo you travel to Mt. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park to experience the world’s most revered volcano, then continue to Hakone for an overnight stay in a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn. Take a bullet train to historic Takayama in the Japanese Alps, where you’ll attend a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, followed by culturally rich Kanazawa. Your journey concludes with three nights in Kyoto, where you’ll visit the Temple of the Golden Pavilion and Nijo Castle and explore the ancient capital of Nara. An optional 3-day/2-night post-tour extension to Hiroshima, the “City of Peace,” lets you discover a city reborn from World War II’s atomic destruction.

With space for only 24 guests on this departure, we expect this tour to fill quickly. Please call today to secure your place on what promises to be an unforgettable journey!

Regards from Westwood,

Day 1: Depart U.S. for Tokyo, Japan

Day 2: Arrive Tokyo Upon arrival in Japan’s financial, commercial, and political capital, we transfer to our hotel. As guests’ arrival times may vary, we have no scheduled activities or meals planned.

Day 3: Tokyo After a briefing about the journey ahead, we set out to discover a small part of this amazing city that covers a staggering 840 miles. Our sightseeing features the Meiji Shrine, a peaceful enclave of Shinto temples and gardens. We also visit the gallery of pre- eminent calligrapher Koshun Masunaga, where we learn about this ancient art of artistic writing and browse the collection. Our tour ends in Ginza, Tokyo’s famed shopping, dining, and entertainment district, where we can stay to explore as we wish or return to our hotel for an afternoon at leisure. Tonight, we gather for a welcome dinner at a local restaurant. B,D

Day 4: Tokyo Our tour of Tokyo continues this morning at the Imperial Palace, surrounded by moats and ramparts and home of the Imperial Family. Here we visit the East Gardens, part of the innermost circle of defense of the historic Edo Castle that once stood here. We continue on to the Buddhist Asakusa Kannon, Tokyo’s oldest temple (c. 645 ce), and the ad-jacent Nakamise shopping arcade, dating to the 17th century. Last, we visit the Tokyo National Museum, housing an extensive collection of art and antiquities from Japan and other Asian countries. This afternoon is free for independent exploration; lunch and dinner are on our own in this city with endless dining options. B

Day 5: Tokyo/Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park/Hakone Japan’s pastoral side is on tap as we leave Tokyo for Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Here sits imposing Mt. Fuji, a dormant volcano (it last erupted in 1707) with a perfectly symmetrical cone that rises to 12,388 feet. The mountain’s majesty is breathtak-ing, as artists and writers have attested for centuries. We take a coach ride where, weather permitting, we’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views; then we descend for a relaxing cruise on scenic Ashi Lake. Leaving the park, we travel to the town of Hakone where we spend the night at a ryokan, a traditional Japanese inn where we take off our shoes upon entering, enjoy a Japanese- style Kaiseki dinner, and sleep on a futon. B,D
