Asked on March 8th, 2025What's the cost of the tour for one person? Will I get to see the cherry blossoms?
Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written March 2025The cost of the tour per person, departing on Sunday, 19 October 2025, is $9,300 USD (Single supplement +USD 983). This departure is outside the typical cherry blossom season (which occurs from late March to early April), and the Japan's Kumano Kodo tour is not specifically designed for cherry blossom viewing. However, you may be interested in other options such as our Ancient & Modern Japan or Highlights of Japan tours, which are more focused on cherry blossoms.
