Japanese architecture is an amalgamation of tradition, innovation and craftsmanship. Rooted in ancient traditions and embracing modern influences, Japan showcases a unique architectural landscape. From historic shrines to Japanese Metabolist structures, from the works of international starchitects to buildings by local architects, Japan combines the old and new. The country's architectural prowess lies in its attention to detail, integration with the natural surroundings and a deep reverence for balance and simplicity.

This 14 day tour will be an intensive exploration of 20th Century and contemporary architecture in Japan. There will be a lot of walking and public transport use. A certain basic level of fitness is required and it is best suited for architecture students, design professionals and enthusiasts.

We start in Tokyo, followed by Nagano and Gifu area, Osaka and Kyoto, selected locations in the Kansai region, and return to Tokyo for the end of the tour.
