Japan is a spectacular place any time of year, but the Art Fox recommends spring (for optimum cherry blossom viewing) or fall (for stunning foliage). No matter which season you choose, there will be Mt Fuji views and chances to see both the countryside and the sites of the cities’ vibrant art and design spaces, wonderful architecture, unique performances, impactful museums, world-class shopping, stunning shrines, experiential installations and delightful food, while taking in the past and present history and culture of Japan…

WHY GO TO JAPAN WITH THE ART FOX?

This is a small group tour with no more than 8 spots to fill for a curated and intimate VIP experience. Your host, Cindy Lisica, PhD, has stayed and studied in Japan on eight trips of varying lengths over the last two decades and has participated in events, exhibitions and festivals, as well as her 2006-2010 PhD (University of the Arts London) with a focus on Takashi Murakami and the Kaikai Kiki artists of Tokyo. She has led small and large groups, including university-level study abroad programs and tours for artists, designers, collectors, and photographers. She speaks basic Japanese and has a network of collaborators (including gallery owners, retail and design spaces, artists, academics, museum curators, and friends) to ensure that everyone has a unique and engaging experience. Cindy will make the trip smooth, fun and fruitful — a dream trip for all!
